Combination-type periprosthetic tibial fracture: Felix type (II+IV)A.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. 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
Tibial periprosthetic fractures are rare but present a complicated problem for orthopaedic surgeons. Literature in relation to combination-type periprosthetic fractures is extremely scarce, and there is limited guidance available on its treatment. We report the case of a woman in her 60s, whose radiographs revealed a periprosthetic fracture of the tibia, which was a Felix type (II+IV)A fracture. The tibial tuberosity fragment was fixed with a cannulated cancellous screw. The fracture adjacent to the stem was managed conservatively as the prosthesis was stable. Follow-up radiographs revealed both fractures to have healed completely by 12 weeks. The patient returned to preinjury functional levels by 4 months. Our demonstrated treatment of a Felix type II+IV periprosthetic fracture could be a viable treatment option for such fractures.
