Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
In contrast to younger patients, tibial head fractures of the elderly usually result from minor trauma. In these patients, fractures of the tibial plateau are frequently seen and classified according to the Tscherne classification. In addition to plain radiographs which consist of an a.p. and a lateral view, a CT-scan is an obligatory part of the preoperative diagnostic. The therapeutic management is strongly depending on the psychic and physical condition of the patient, the fracture morphology, the decreased bone mineralization and the soft tissue damage. Low bone density requires rigid implants to provide a stable osteosynthesis. Metaphyseal defects have to be augmented with synthetic bone substitutes to avoid secondary loss of reduction. Early mobilization should be achieved to decrease the risk of serious complications.
