Bilateral Hoffa Fractures of the Medial Femoral Condyles: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic 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
Introduction: Intra-articular distal femoral fractures in the coronal plane, widely described as Hoffa fractures, are a rare entity. Lateral femoral condyles are mostly affected, while diagnosis can be challenging. Bilateral medial femoral condyle fractures are exceedingly scarce, with only one case being published in recent literature. Case Report: We present a case of a white 65-year-old man with bilateral medial femoral condyle Hoffa fractures caused by a crush injury. The patient was treated operatively by two different teams operating simultaneously on both sides, with good clinical and radiological outcomes after a follow-up period of 3 months. Conclusion: A literature review was conducted to analyze the potential mechanism of injury, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic approach. Bilateral medial Hoffa fractures are rare injuries concerning the orthopedic trauma field and this is the first case described, that was treated operatively with good functional outcomes.
