Bicondylar Tibial Plateau Fracture in Below-Knee Amputation: A Rare Injury Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2024. 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: With current prostheses, below-knee amputees have sufficient mobility to perform activities with a risk of trauma and therefore fracture. However, bicondylar fractures of the tibial plateau are rare in this population and we found no recent literature or consensus regarding the management of these fractures. The aim of this study is to report a case with its surgical management, post-operative follow-up, and the specificities inherent in transtibial amputees. Case Report: This is a case of 33-year-old below-the-knee amputee male who sustained an ipsilateral tibial plateau fracture after an electric scooter accident. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation with posteromedial and anterolateral plate using dual incision. We followed the patient for 1 year with good clinical and functional outcomes. Conclusion: Bicondylar fractures of the proximal tibia in below-knee amputees are rare injuries with potentially severe consequences. Nevertheless, appropriate surgical management and multidisciplinary collaboration with physiotherapists and orthopedic technicians allow the patient to regain mobility and autonomy without compromising prosthesis fitting in the long term.
