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

purposeTo report the diagnosis, injury mechanisms, and imaging characteristics of hyperextension bicondylar tibial plateau fractures and examine the indications and feasibility of the modified anterior midline incision as a treatment strategy.

methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 11 cases of hyperextension bicondylar tibial plateau fractures who were treated with open reduction and internal fixation, predominantly via an anterolateral and posteromedialdouble incision or a modified anterior midline incision. Radiological and functional evaluations were performed.

resultsEleven patients were followed-up for a mean period of 11.5 months (range 3-24 months). The mean time to radiographic bony union was 12.5 weeks (range 10-26 weeks). At final follow-up, the average Rasmussen functional score was 26.8 (range 24 - 29); five patients had an excellent rating, and six a good rating. The average range of motion of the affected knees was 3.4-130° postoperatively. Fixation failure was not observed in any of the treated fractures.

conclusionHyperextension bicondylar tibial plateau fractures show a special Tiankeng-like collapse characteristic, while the changes in posterior tibial slope angle are easy to overlook. The modified anterior midline incision is a safe and effective approach for treatment of hyperextension bicondylar tibial plateau fractures with less rear displacement. Open reduction and double plating for the treatment of hyperextension bicondylar tibial plateau fractures provides excellent results.
