Arthroscopically assisted reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) versus open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for lateral tibial plateau fractures: a comparative retrospective study.

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
backgroundThis study aims to explore if the arthroscopically assisted reduction and internal fixation (ARIF) technique is superior to the traditional open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) technique in the treatment of tibial lateral plateau fractures.
methodsForty patients with tibial plateau fractures (Schatzker type I-III) treated with ARIF or ORIF from 2012 to 2017 were included in this retrospective study. All patients received pre-operative radiographs and CT scans. The patients were divided into two groups (ARIF or ORIF). All patients had a minimum follow-up of 12 months and an average follow-up of 44.4 months. The clinical and radiographic outcomes were evaluated according to the Knee Society Score (KSS) and the modified Rasmussen radiological score.
resultsSatisfactory clinical and radiological results were found in 39 out of 40 (97.5%) patients. KSS and modified Rasmussen radiological score were significantly better in ARIF group. The mean KSS was 92.37 (± 6.3) for the ARIF group and 86.29 (± 11.54) for the ORIF group (p < 0.05). The mean modified Rasmussen radiographic score was 8.42 (± 2.24) for the ARIF group and 7.33 (± 1.83) for the ORIF group (p = 0.104). Worst clinical and radiological results were related to concomitant intra-articular lesions (p < 0.05). Meniscal tears were found and treated in 17 out of 40 (42.5%) patients. The overall complication rate was 10%.
conclusionsBoth ARIF and ORIF provided a satisfactory outcome for the treatment of Schatzker I-III tibial plateau fractures. However, ARIF led to better clinical results than ORIF. No statistically significant differences were found in perioperative complications, radiological results, and post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.
