1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Distal radius fractures are common injuries requiring tailored treatment approaches. This study explores the relationship between the DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) score and various surgical techniques in patients treated for wrist fractures. A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted involving 140 patients with distal radius fractures treated between 2017 and 2022 at CHU-NDS. Data were collected through phone interviews using the DASH questionnaire and clinical records. Four surgical methods were evaluated: closed reduction, DVR (dorsal volar radial), Kapandji technique, and percutaneous pinning. Findings indicated a significant variation in DASH scores across techniques, with closed reduction yielding the lowest DASH score, suggesting the best functional outcome, and DVR the highest, indicating poorer results. These outcomes emphasize the importance of selecting the appropriate surgical method based on individual patient factors and fracture characteristics. The study underscores the need for more standardized surgical and rehabilitation protocols to optimize functional recovery and patient satisfaction in distal radius fracture management.
