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
Introduction: and importance: Unicondylar tibial plateau fractures with tibial shaft fractures are extremely rare among the elderly group of people. The traditional treatment method is to apply double plates to fix unicondylar tibial plateau fractures combined with tibial shaft fractures respectively, but this fixation method can disrupt the blood supply around the soft tissues and increase the rate of postoperative infection and fracture non-union. In this paper, we would analyse an old unicondylar tibial plateau fracture (Schatzker type III) with tibial shaft fracture which admitted to our department and discussed the efficacy of using intramedullary nails and plates in the treatment of these fractures. Case presentation: A 78-year-old woman with an old unicondylar tibial plateau fracture combined with tibial shaft fracture was presented in this case. Using an intramedullary nail combined with a plate to achieve good results. Clinical discussion: This case represents a rare case of an unicondylar tibial plateau fracture with a tibial shaft fracture. In this case, the tibial plateau fracture was first incised and internally fixed with a 9-hole plate across the fracture line of the tibial shaft, followed by fixing the tibial shaft fracture with an intramedullary nail. This treatment helped us successfully reset the unicondylar tibial plateau fracture with tibial shaft fracture and provided a satisfactory outcome for the patient. Conclusion: Using intramedullary nails combined with plates to treat unicondylar tibial plateau fractures with tibial shaft fractures allowed for a predictable healing result.
