Vertical Patella Fracture Fixed by Plate and Screws With Bone Graft: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fractures of the patella constitute approximately 1% of all skeletal injuries. The vertical pattern represents 12-17% and the open patella fracture represents 6-30%. We here represent a rare case constituting the presence of these two uncommon (vertical type patella fracture with depression of articular surface). A 22-year-old male had a close patella fracture after a road traffic accident. The fracture was classified as a vertical and comminuted pattern. A back slab above the knee was applied and then the patient was prepared for surgery. Open reduction and internal fixation of the patella by miniplate and bone graft restore the articular surface, which reduces the risk of post-traumatic osteoarthritis. At five months postoperatively, the patient had a satisfactory joint motion with full extension and 120° of joint flexion and returned to his daily life activities without restriction. Additionally, the patient was in good health and able to bear full weight. In conclusion, the treatment choice requires a thorough knowledge of the case to ensure good stability and avoid fracture displacement.
