Non-union lateral femoral condyle Hoffa fracture: a case report.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
An isolated Hoffa fracture of either of the femoral condyle is infrequently encountered. Owing to its rarity, it is often missed and subsequently results in non-union. The knowledge of its surgical management comes from the sporadically reported cases in the literature. The most preferred approach is parapatellar, providing adequate exposure of the fracture and the joint surface. We report a case of non-union of Letteneur-2C lateral condyle Hoffa fracture of the left distal femur in a young adult as a result of missed bony injury. Surgical fixation was done using a posterolateral approach to the knee and fixing the fracture with headless compression screws placed posteroanteriorly. After about 1 year of follow up, patient demonstrated excellent functional outcome in the form of a pain free mobilisation and near normal range of motion. We emphasise the fact that the importance of vigilance while diagnosing fractures of distal femur cannot be stressed enough and with proper surgical management and rehabilitation, desirable results can be achieved.
