The comparison of clinical effect, knee function, prognosis of double plate fixation and locking plate internal fixation for tibial plateau fractures.

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
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effect, knee function improvement and prognosis of double plate internal fixation and locking plate internal fixation in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures. Methods: Clinical data from 96 tibial plateau fracture patients treated at our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Of these, 46 had been treated using locking plate internal fixation and 50 were treated with double T-shaped plate fixation. Clinically related indices, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score of knee function, and ability of daily living (ADL) score were evaluated during postoperative follow-up. Results: No significant differences were observed in pre-operative patient characteristics in both groups. Healing time, time to weight-bearing, tibial plateau angle (TPA) and lateral posterior angle (PA) were all superior in the locking plate fixation group compared to the double plate fixation group. At three months post-operative visit, range of motion, knee function, flexion deformity, muscle strength, pain, and stability metrics were all superior in the locking plate fixation group compared to the double plate fixation group. ADL scores were also higher in the locking plate fixation group than in the double plate fixation group at three and six months follow-up. Conclusions: The clinical effect, knee function improvement and prognosis of locking plate internal fixation in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures are better than those of double plate fixation.
