Comparison of Functional and Radiological Outcomes of Transverse Patellar Fractures Fixed with Tension Band Fixation Using Cannulated Screws and Kirschner Wires: A Prospective Randomized Study.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeTo compare functional and radiological outcomes of transverse patella fractures treated with tension band wiring using either two 4.5 mm cannulated screws or Kirshner wire.
methodsThis is a non-blinded prospective randomized study comprising of two groups (
resultsThe CCS group showed a statistically significant higher range of motion than K wire group for each follow up (
conclusionThis study concludes that the fixation of closed transverse patella fractures using two 4.5 mm cannulated screws is allows a faster rate of union, a better knee range of motion and lesser hardware complications as compared to Kirschner wires. However more studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow up are required.
