Hoffa's fracture in an adolescent treated with an innovative surgical procedure: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2022. 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
backgroundHoffa fracture is rare, especially in adolescents, and has a high rate of complications such as avascular necrosis and osteoarthritis; moreover, there are no definitive guidelines for its treatment. This report could provide a new potential treatment for Hoffa fracture. CASE SUMMARY: A 16-year-old girl presented to the orthopedic emergency department of No. 2 People's Hospital of Yibin City with persistent pain following a right knee injury sustained during a sprint race. Her knee was swollen and tender, and the range of motion was restricted by the pain. X-ray and computed tomography revealed a Hoffa fracture in the right knee. After consultation, surgical treatment was performed, and the fracture was fixed with three 3.5-mm cannulated cancellous screws; osteochondral plugs that were harvested from the screw insertion site were re-implanted to cover the screw head. The patient's fracture and osteochondral plug healed 6 mo postoperatively, and she presented a knee range of motion of 0-135 without pain, and was walking without support with a normal gait.
conclusionHere, we describe an innovative surgical procedure for Hoffa fracture that could provide a new possibility for the treatment of similar fractures, and further improve their management.
