The Floating Knee Injuries: Does it Need a New Classification System?
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThis study aims to determine the differences between the clinical and radiological results of patients based on Karlstrom-Olerud Scoring System who cannot be included in any classification for floating knee injuries and to seek an answer to the question of whether a new classification is needed. MATERIAL AND
methodsSeventy patients with floating knee injuries treated in our clinic were retrospectively analyzed between 2008 and 2019 in the study. The results of fractures that classifiable and unclassifiable according to the Fraser, Blake and McBryde classifications were statistically compared based on the Karlstrom-Olerud criteria.
resultsSeventy patients, 64 males and 6 females, participated in the study. The mean age of our patients was 32.3 ± 12.55 (18-68) years. The mean follow-up period of the patients was 30.26 ± 18.19 months (11-60 months). The results of the fractures that could not be classified according to the Blake and McBryde classification were statistically poorer than the results of those that could be classified according to the criteria (
conclusionWe observed that floating knee injuries that we could and could not classify led to different clinical results. In conclusion, we think that there is a need for a new floating knee classification that includes segmental fractures, patellar fractures and open fractures.
