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

Hardware failure and malunion are feared complications of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of patella fractures and require revision ORIF. Given the higher complication and reoperation rates associated with revision ORIF of the patella, these procedures can be difficult. This case report presents a 51-year-old female who experienced early hardware failure and malunion of a patellar fracture after primary ORIF with tension band wiring (TBW). A revision ORIF was performed using a novel plate and suture construct that allows for the simultaneous management of the osseous and soft tissue components of the extensor mechanism.
