Outcomes of Surgical Management of Late Presenting Intra-Articular Distal Femoral Physeal Fracture: A Multicentric Retrospective Case Series.

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
Distal femur physeal fractures in children, particularly Hoffa fractures, are rare and prone to complications. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of surgical intervention in children presenting with delayed intra-articular distal femur physeal fractures. A multicentric retrospective study involved six pediatric patients with delayed presentation of distal femur physeal fractures. Five patients underwent surgical intervention involving osteotomy and anatomical re-fixation of the malunited fragments. One patient opted for conservative management. The age at presentation, time since injury, surgical procedures, and clinical and radiological outcomes were evaluated at the final follow-up. Fixation with lag screws was sufficient in three patients, while two required additional plate stabilization. The mean age of patients was 12.2 years, comprising four boys and two girls. The average delay in presentation was 30.8 months (ranging from 3 months to 8 years).
