Anterior Elbow Dislocation Associated With Medial Epicondyle and Humeral Condyle Fractures in a Pediatric Patient: A Report of a Rare Case.
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
We present the case of an 11-year-old boy who sustained an anterior elbow dislocation associated with fractures of the medial epicondyle and humeral condyle following a fall from playground equipment. Anterior elbow dislocation is an exceptionally rare injury in the pediatric population, and its association with concomitant articular fractures further increases its clinical complexity. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical management were essential to prevent anatomical and functional sequelae. The patient underwent closed reduction followed by open reduction and internal fixation with Kirschner wires due to the presence of displaced osseous fragments. At the four-month follow-up, the patient achieved complete elbow range of motion without pain or functional limitation. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of clinical suspicion for associated fractures in pediatric anterior elbow dislocations and underscores the need for an individualized, timely treatment approach to optimize outcomes in this rare injury pattern.
