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

The management of tibial plateau fractures can be challenging because of the scarcity of soft tissue associated with a high rate of wound healing disorders. Classic open reduction and internal plate fixation require extensive soft tissue dissection and periosteal stripping, and elevation of depressed fragments and maintenance of the reduction is difficult. In the current report the authors describe a novel operative approach to percutaneously reduce depressed tibial plateau fractures using an inflatable balloon in combination with minimally invasive plate fixation. The results of the first 5 cases treated with this technique are reported.
