Avascular Necrosis After a Supracondylar Humerus Fracture Resulting in Capitellar Dissolution and Fishtail Deformity: An 11-Year Follow-Up Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
A six-year-old boy sustained a displaced and rotated supracondylar humerus fracture (SCHF) after falling from the monkey bars. He underwent closed reduction and percutaneous pinning using two lateral-entry Kirschner wires. He had an uneventful postoperative recovery and returned to full normal activity. A routine follow-up radiograph obtained one year after the injury showed that the capitellum ossific nucleus was absent, presumably due to dissolution caused by avascular necrosis (AVN). He also had AVN of the trochlea. Despite these radiographic findings, he was completely asymptomatic. He was treated with activity restrictions to avoid upper-extremity weight-bearing for two years. Eleven years after the fracture, he remained asymptomatic, with an elbow range of motion of 5°-135°. His radiograph demonstrated a fishtail deformity of the distal humerus resulting from the effects of AVN on the distal humeral growth plate.
