A Review of Proximal Tibia Entry Points for Intramedullary Nailing and Validation of The Lateral Parapatellar Approach as Extra-articular.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Tibial shaft fractures are the most common long bone injury and are often treated surgically in an attempt to minimize complications. Although treatment options for tibial shaft fractures vary based on factors including open injury, severity of fracture, and soft tissue status, intramedullary nailing in adults has emerged as the preferred definitive option for stabilization. Therefore, the primary purposes of this review and cadaveric study were to evaluate the entry points for reamed tibial nails and the risks, benefits, and advantages of each approach. Due to concerns of violating the joint capsule and the generalized applicability to everyday practice of the extra-articular lateral parapatellar semi-extended technique, the secondary goal of this manuscript was to evaluate whether an intramedullary tibial nail can be consistently placed extra-articularly using the lateral parapatellar technique described by Kubiak et al. and generalizability to surgeons of varying experience.
