Initial and Residual 3D Fracture Displacement Is Predictive for Patient-Reported Functional Outcome at Mid-Term Follow-Up in Surgically Treated Tibial Plateau Fractures.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundConventional measures of fracture displacement have low interobserver reliability. This study introduced a novel 3D method to measure tibial plateau fracture displacement and its impact on functional outcome.
methodsA multicentre study was conducted on patients who had tibial plateau fracture surgery between 2003 and 2018. Eligible patients had a preoperative CT scan (slice thickness ≤ 1 mm) and received a Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) questionnaire. A total of 362 patients responded (57%), and assessment of initial and residual fracture displacement was performed via measurement using the 3D gap area (mm
resultsFunctional outcome appeared significantly worse when initial or residual fracture displacement increased. Multivariate linear regression showed that initial 3D gap area (per 100 mm
conclusionA novel 3D measurement method was applied to quantify initial and residual displacement. This is the first study which can reliably classify the degree of displacement and indicates that increasing displacement results in poorer patient-reported functional outcomes.
