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

backgroundThe PediLoc MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective single-centre study included patients who underwent distal femoral osteotomy with the PediLoc

resultsA total of 111 osteotomies with complete radiographic follow-up were analysed (77 Blade Plate [69.4%], 34 90° LCP-PCP [30.6%]). At 6 weeks, early consolidation (RUST score ≥ 10) was observed in 39% of Blade Plate cases versus 6% in the 90° LCP group. By 3 months, consolidation reached 91% in the Blade Plate group and 70% in the 90° LCP-PCP group. One Blade Plate case was excluded due to an implant-associated intraoperative fracture.

conclusionsThe PediLoc LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, retrospective comparative study.
