Patellar height changes after treatment of tibia plateau fractures: A radiological analysis.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2023. 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
objectivesTo determine the impact of tibial plateau fractures on patellar height and the factors affecting this impact.
methodsA total of 40 patients treated for plateau fractures between 2017-2021 were evaluated in this retrospective prognostic study. The patient group consisted of lateral radiographs of the operated knees, whereas the control group consisted of lateral radiographs of the healthy sides of the same patients. Insall-Salvati, Caton-Deschamps, Blackburne-Peel, and modified Insall-Salvati indices were measured for both groups. In addition, Schaztker and Luo classifications, as well as the demographic profiles of the patients, were analyzed.
resultsThere was no significant difference between the groups in terms of patellar height indices (
conclusionLong-term functions of tibial plateau fractures should be evaluated not only with a painless range of motion but also with patellar height. It should be noted that the Luo classification, which evaluates the plateau 3-dimensionally, may be associated with changes in postoperative patellar height values.
