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
Objective: To explore the effectiveness of limited incision, poking reduction, and simple internal fixation in the treatment of collapsed fractures of the posterolateral tibial plateau. Methods: Between October 2010 and January 2016, 16 patients with collapsed fractures of the posterolateral tibial plateau underwent posterolateral incision, poking reduction, and simple internal fixation. There were 10 males and 6 females with the age of 22-63 years (mean, 43.5 years). The injury was caused by falling in 5 cases, traffic accident in 7 cases, and falling from height in 4 cases. All cases had closed fractures. The left knee was involved in 9 cases and the right knee in 7 cases. The injury-to-admission time was 2 hours to 3 days (mean, 10 hours). X-ray films showed that the articular surface collapsing was more than 2 mm. According to Schatzker criteria, 6 cases were rated as type II and 10 cases as type III. Twelve cases had fracture of fibular head. The incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and incision healing were recorded; fracture healing was observed, and tibial plateau angle and posterior slope angle were measured on X-ray films; loss of articular surface reduction was observed by CT scan; and American Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score was used to evaluate the knee joint function. Results: The incision length was 7-10 cm (mean, 8.6 cm); operation time was 35-55 minutes (mean, 46 minutes); intraoperative blood loss was 10-35 mL (mean, 28 mL). Primary healing of incision was obtained. Skin pain occurred in 1 case at 2 months because Kirschner wire retracted. Fifteen cases were followed up 8-21 months (mean, 13.5 months). The fracture healing time was from 3 to 6 months (mean, 4.8 months). There was no significant difference in tibial plateau angle and posterior slope angle between at immediate after operation and at last follow-up ( Conclusion: The limited incision by posterolateral approach, poking reduction, and simple internal fixation have the advantages of small injury, full exposure, and easy operation in the treatment of simple posterolateral tibial plateau fractures; bone graft support and simple internal fixation can prevent recollapse of the articular surface and achieve satisfactory knee function.
