Nonunion of an Isolated Medial Condyle of a Femur Hoffa Fracture in a 21-Year-Old Male: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Isolated Hoffa fractures of the femur are often missed on initial radiographic evaluations. Routine CT scans for intraarticular fractures in suburban populations are not routinely done. Nonunion of medial condyle Hoffa fracture of the distal femur is a rare finding and presents late with pain in weight-bearing and painful flexion. This is a case report of a 21-year-old male who sustained trauma as a result of a motorcycle-car collision and was managed elsewhere conservatively on an above-knee slab. He presented after five months to our side with a limited range of movement at the knee and pain during ambulation. After radiological work diagnosis of isolated non-union of medal condyle Hoffa fracture of the distal femur was made, the patient was managed by freshening of fracture followed by rigid fixation with cancellous screws and reconstruction plate. At postoperative six weeks, the patient had a painless full range of motion at the knee joint.
