[Extended medial and extended lateral approach for tibial plateau fractures].
Article in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2019. 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
objectiveComplete visualization of the articular surface in comminuted uni- or bicondylar tibial plateau fractures as a prerequisite for anatomical reconstruction to reduce the risk of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. INDICATIONS: Unicondylar lateral or medial as well as bicondylar intra-articular tibial plateau fractures with central and/or dorsal fracture lines; comminuted destruction of the medial or lateral tibial plateau with dislocation of >2 mm. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Critical soft tissue in the approach area, femoral condylar fracture, intraligamentous ruptures of the medial or lateral ligaments or the posterolateral corner. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Medial: via the medial or anteromedial approach; lateral: via the antero- or posterolateral approach for open reduction and internal fixation of the tibial plateau fracture. Sharp dissection down to the medial/lateral ligamentous accompanying structures with subsequent presentation of the medial/lateral femoral epicondyle. Medial: approximately 2 × 2 cm osteotomy of the medial femoral epicondyle. Lateral: osteotomy of an approximately 1 × 1 × 0.5 cm bone block of the lateral femoral epicondyle either with protection or including the popliteus tendon running ventrally in the sulcus popliteus. In this case, a violation of the articular condyle should be avoided. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Early functional posttreatment with full mobilization and 10-20 kg partial load bearing on forearm crutches, fracture-dependent for 6-12 weeks.
resultsVery good visualization of the comminuted articular surface with postoperatively anatomical reconstruction of complex fracture patterns without postoperative concomitant instabilities.
