Predictors of acute compartment syndrome in patients with tibial fractures: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International orthopaedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
STUDY
designThis is the first meta-analysis focusing on the risk factors related to ACS after tibial fractures.
backgroundAcute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a serious complication that affects 2-9% of tibial fracture patients. It is importance of identifying the predictors of ACS in patients with tibial fractures. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We performed a meta-analysis to identify the risk factors of ACS after tibial fracture.
methodsWe searched articles in the English databases, such as PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library and the Chinese databases including CNKI and WAN FANG. We collected data related to ACS from included studies and analyzed data by RevMan 5.3 and STATA 12.0.
resultsThe rate of ACS was 2.7% (10,708 of 398,414 patients) from 16 included articles. Our data showed that younger age (p < 0.00001, OR = - 7.93, 95% CI [- 9.34, - 6.25]), male patients (p < 0.00001, OR = 2.17, 95% CI [2.07, 2.28]), patients without a history of hypertension (p < 0.00001, OR = 0.69, 95% CI [0.64, 0.74]), with a history of smoking (p < 0.00001, OR = 1.38, 95% CI [1.30, 1.46]), and patients with fibular fractures (p = 0.001, OR = 2.68, 95% CI [1.47, 4.87]), closed fracture (p = 0.02, OR = 0.86, 95% CI [0.75, 0.98]), high-energy injury (p = 0.003, OR = 0.37, 95% CI [0.19, 0.71]), motorized accident (p = 0.0009, OR = 0.41, 95% CI [0.24, 0.69]), proximal fracture, AO-C-type fracture, comminuted fracture, and Schatzker grade IV-VI fracture were associated with the development of ACS. Additionally, femoral displacement ratio and tibial widening ratio in the ACS groups were significantly higher than in the non-ACS group.
conclusionMany factors were found to be associated with the development of ACS following tibial fractures. We provide references when we met the above characteristics of patients to rapidly identify and highly concern ACS.
