Nonoperative treatment of avulsion fracture of the anterior tibia with proximal fibular fracture: A case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Avulsion fracture of the anterior tibia with proximal fibular fracture commonly occurs in Maisonneuve fracture, which generally involves ankle instability and requires surgical correction. Nonoperative treatment of this type of fracture has been rarely reported in the literature. Case presentation: A 48-year-old male reported pain in the lateral part of his left lower leg and ankle during a badminton play. Physical examination revealed tenderness and swelling of the lateral aspects of the left ankle, as well as the proximal aspect of the fibula. Preoperative plain x-ray image, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an avulsion fracture of the anterior tibia by the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament without medial and posterior fracture, rupture of the deltoid ligament, or interosseous membrane. Nonoperative management was performed and successful recovery was observed at a 6-month follow-up. Conclusions: Nonoperative management can be a better option for some variations of Maisonneuve fracture with a stable ankle joint. The selection of treatment options should be based on careful examination and radiological evaluation of the ankle.
