Trends and Complications of Arthroscopic-Assisted Tibial Plateau Fracture Fixation: A Matched Cohort Analysis.
Article in Arthroscopy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 determine trends in arthroscopic-assisted tibial plateau fracture fixation (AATPFF), to evaluate trends in the overall rate of tibial plateau fracture fixation, and to compare postoperative complications between AATPFF and traditional tibial plateau fixation.
methodsA retrospective review of patients undergoing AATPFF and traditional tibial plateau fixation was conducted using the Humana Inc. administrative database from 2007 to 2016. A 1:1 propensity match was utilized to match patients in the 2 study groups based on age, sex, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression or anxiety, and smoking history. Postoperative complications were grouped as minor medical complications, major medical complications, surgical complications, emergency department visits, and reoperation. Linear regression analysis was used to assess trends and Pearson's χ
resultsIn total, 522 patients underwent AATPFF and 3920 patients underwent traditional tibial plateau fracture fixation. There was a 4-fold increase in the use of AATPFF over the study period (
conclusionsThe incidence of tibial plateau fracture fixation is increasing, however, use of AATPFF is increasing at a faster rate compared to traditional techniques. Furthermore, the addition of knee arthroscopy to fracture fixation does not increase the risk of complication, reoperation, or emergency department visit within 90 days. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, retrospective matched cohort.
