[Pearls and pitfalls for the treatment of tibial head fractures].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundTibial plateau fractures requiring surgery are severe injuries of the lower extremity. Depending on the fracture pattern, the age of the patient, the range of activity and the bone quality there is a broad variation in adequate treatment. In the last decade we have had a tremendous development, might it be the angular stable anatomical plates as well as new approaches to the proximal tibia. Nevertheless in the recent literature there are still many complications reported. Not only for sports professionals, recreational athletes or heavy load workers tibial plateau fractures affect leisure, all day activity and professional life. This article reports the treatment algorithm showing different cases, outlines the pitfalls and explains treatment strategies with a detailed x-ray follow-up.
conclusionAfter a tibial plateau fracture patients are affected in their sporting activity due to an impaired knee function. Despite a long rehabilitation time and programs, physical activity changes to lower impact sports. Among the usual perioperative complications there are the specific complications of postoperative malalignment, implant infections, osteitis of the tibial head, compartment syndrome, secondary loss of reduction, avascular tibial head necrosis, secondary varus or valgus deformity, post-traumatic arthrosis and lesions of the peroneal nerve. In the literature in up to 43% of the cases complications have been noted. Despite surgery the majority of patients cannot return to their previous level of activity. However, overall about 70% of the patients return to sports after a tibial plateau fracture. For a beneficial outcome a detailed fracture analysis with CT scan and precise planning of the surgical strategies and approaches is mandatory.
