1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundFractures of the knee extensor complex are relatively rare injuries in children. We distinguish between a pure tendon rupture and ruptures with bony avulsions. A mid-substance tear in children is a relatively rare injury, whereas bony avulsions due to skeletal immaturity are seen more often. Sole bony fractures of the patella also only account for a low number of paediatric related fractures. Sleeve fractures are characterized by an avulsion of cartilage and, usually, bone pulled off from the distal patella pole. Avulsion fractures of the tibia tubercle are found in the group of sportive adolescents. TREATMENT: Especially dislocated fractures should be conveyed to surgical therapy to avoid excessive bone callus. Timely diagnostics and an efficient and consistent treatment are recommended. Deformities and dislocated avulsions will regularly not remodel spontaneously during further growth. Therefore, it is mandatory to reconstruct the articular surface and the knee extensor complex to avoid future complications such as osteoarthritis or elongation of the knee extensors.
