Cerebral Palsy and Postoperative Outcomes After Distal Radius Fracture Repair: A Retrospective Analysis.
Article in Journal of hand surgery global online, 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
Purpose: To identify if patients with cerebral palsy (CP) are at increased risk of postoperative complications and repeat surgery following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for distal radius fractures both acutely and in the long-term following their surgery. Methods: Using the Mariner 161 PearlDiver dataset, adult patients undergoing ORIF following a DRF were identified. Patients with CP were then matched 1:4 with a non-CP cohort based on age, sex, and the Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI). The incidence of 90-day postoperative adverse events and readmissions were determined and compared using univariate and multivariate analyses. The 5-year repeat surgery rate of each cohort was compared using log-rank testing. Results: Prior to matching, there were 300,071 patients who underwent ORIF for distal radius fractures identified, of which 654 (0.2%) had CP. On multivariate analysis, the CP cohort had increase odds of all aggregated event groups: any adverse event (OR 4.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.25-5.08), severe adverse event (OR 2.93, 95% CI 2.11-4.05), and minor adverse event (OR 4.32, 95% CI 3.41-5.48). Additionally, the CP cohort had increased odds of the following individual adverse events (in descending order): urinary tract infection (OR 5.32, 95% CI 4.01-7.06), myocardial infarction (OR 5.29, 95% CI 2.37-12.08), pneumonia (OR 4.15, 95% CI 2.83-6.07), sepsis (OR 4.08, 95% CI 2.41-6.90), pulmonary embolism (OR 3.73, 95% CI 1.60-8.58), transfusion (OR 3.71, 95% CI 1.59-8.57), acute kidney injury (OR 3.20, 95% CI 2.08-4.93), and deep vein thrombosis (OR 3.18, 95% CI 1.78-5.67).There was no difference in reoperation rate between the CP and non-CP cohort (2.3% vs 2.8%, Conclusions: Patients with CP who underwent ORIF were at increase odds of postoperative adverse events immediately following surgery bur had no difference in reoperation rate over 5 years. Type of study/level of evidence: Retrospective cohort study III.
