1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe injury mechanisms and classifications of tibial plateau fractures (TPFs) are still controversial. The aim of this study is to show 3D fracture mapping of different types of tibial plateau fractures. Moreover, combined with Schatzker and ten-segment classification, we aimed to analyze the injury frequency and characteristics of different segments.

methodsIn total, 346 patients with TPFs treated at level I trauma centres from 2017 to 2021 were reviewed. The CT files of the included cases were typed and categorized. 3D reconstruction of TPFs patients' CT files were performed using software. All fracture lines were superimposed on the standard model by the software to create TPFs 3D fracture mapping.

resultsThis study included 204 male and 142 female patients (average age, 47 years [range, 18 to 83 years]) with a tibial plateau fracture. Using the Schatzker classification, we found 39 type I (11.27%), 103 type II (29.77%), nine type III (2.60%), 71 type IV (20.52%), 52 type V (15.03%), 59 type VI (17.05%) fractures, and 13 others (3.76%). The density areas of fracture lines are mainly located in the ALC and PLC segments (74.3%, 69.1%). In different views, fracture lines of different Schatzker types showed distinct distribution characteristics.

conclusionsSchatzker classification combined with 3D fracture mapping provides a new presentation of tibial plateau fracture morphology. According to the 3D fracture mapping, different types of TPFs have distinctly different distribution characteristics of fracture lines. There are significant differences between different types of fracture injury segments.
