Bilateral Simultaneous Proximal Tibial Insufficiency Fractures in a Patient Suffering From Psoriatic Arthritis.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bilateral synchronous proximal tibia insufficiency fractures are rarely reported. We present a case of simultaneous proximal tibia bilateral insufficiency fractures in a 51-year-old female patient with underlying psoriatic arthritis, who was on chronic steroid medication. She reported sudden onset of bilateral knee pain after intense workout one week ago. Initial clinical and X-ray evaluation did not reveal significant pathology. Four weeks later, due to persistent pain in the absence of significant radiographic findings during follow-up, the patient was referred for MRI, which revealed fractures of both proximal tibias. A "mixed" treatment protocol was applied. In particular, this protocol included combination of rest and intermittent removable knee ranger braces immobilization with weight-bearing when applied. The patient went on to make a full recovery. Chronic inflammatory disorders accompanied by suspicious clinical manifestations should be thoroughly inspected. Diagnostic and treatment protocols should be further discussed and implemented.
