Surgical outcomes of subtypes of periprosthetic tibia fractures after total knee arthroplasty.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Surgical outcomes of subtypes of periprosthetic tibia fractures after total knee arthroplasty were evaluated by using the Felix et al. classification system. Type 3 fractures were the most common classification of periprosthetic tibial fractures. Type 2 fractures had the highest rates of revision and nonunion. Type 3 fractures exhibited longer healing times than types 2 and 4. Far type 3 fractures showed the longest healing time of all fracture types but had very minimal complications. Type 4 fracture managed by K-wire/cerclage wire may require hardware removal or debridement but exhibited the shortest healing time compared to types 2 and 3.
