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
The posterolateral tibial plateau fracture is a special type of intra-articular fracture, for which there is no simple, safe, and effective standardized procedure. In this paper, we evaluate the clinical efficacy and the advantages of the treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fracture by using our designed proximal lateral tibial rim plate for the posterolateral condyle of the tibial plateau via the space above the fibula head. Thirty-eight patients with posterolateral tibial plateau fractures from June 2018 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. CT scans were used to classify the degree of injury in the included patients. All of them were fixed with reduction using an approach above the fibula head combined with a homemade anatomical plate. The regular postoperative review was performed to instruct functional knee exercises. Postoperative complications were observed and follow-up visits were performed to assess the functional outcome. A total of 38 patients with posterolateral tibial plateau fractures, 13 males and 25 females were included in the study. All patients were followed up for 13-26 months, with a mean of 15.3 months. There were no postoperative complications such as numbness of the limb, knee joint instability, etc. X-ray review showed that the fractures were all healed, and the healing time was 10-16 weeks, with an average of 12.1 weeks; none of the internal fixation loosening and loss of articular surface occurred during the follow-up period. At the last follow-up, according to the HSS knee function score criteria, the scores were 79-98, with an average of 91.3. The HSS score presented excellent in 34 cases (89%) and good in 4 cases (11%). The Rasmussen score was graded as excellent in 29 cases (76%) and good in 9 cases (24%). In conclusion, The treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures by an approach above the fibula head has the advantages of simplicity and safety, small trauma, and no risk of vascular and nerve injuries, and the anatomical proximal lateral tibial rim plate can play a direct and effective supporting role for the bone fragments of the posterolateral condyle, and the combination of both of them has obvious advantages in the treatment of posterolateral condylar fracture of the tibial plateau, and it is a method worth borrowing and popularizing.
