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

rationaleIt is challenging to visualize and reduce a posterolateral tibial plateau fracture through an anterolateral approach as the tibial plateau fragments are often covered by the fibular head and ligamentous structures. PATIENT CONCERNS: In this case report, we describe a patient with a depression fracture of the posterolateral quadrant combined with a split fracture of the posteromedial quadrant and an avulsion fracture of the tibial intercondylar eminence. DIAGNOSES: Tibial plateau fracture(AO type 41-B3).

interventionsA posteromedial approach combined with an anterolateral approach and an osteotomy involving the proximal tibiofibular joint of the tibial plateau was used to expose, reduce, and fix the fracture. OUTCOMES: There was no risk of injury to the common peroneal nerve or ligaments. The patient is recovering well and is satisfied with the function of the injured knee. LESSONS: We recommend anterolateral tibial plateau osteotomy for the treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures in clinical practice.
