Outcomes After Salter-Harris II Distal Tibia Fractures in Children.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesSalter-Harris II (SH-II) distal tibia fractures are the most common physeal ankle fractures in children; however, indications for surgical management remain controversial, and patient-reported outcomes for different management strategies are unknown. The purpose of the current study is to compare differences in clinical and patient-reported outcomes following operative and non-operative management of this injury.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients who were treated at a single institution for SH-II distal tibia fractures between 2013 and 2020. Variables included age, gender, operative versus non-operative treatment, and premature physeal closure (PPC). Patients were also contacted for patient-reported outcome scores (PROs), which included the visual analog scale foot and ankle (VAS-FA) and the PROMIS pediatric mobility instrument obtained at a minimum of 2 years post-injury.
resultsDemographic and clinical information was obtained for 46 patients. Our cohort was 52% male with mean age of 11.9 years at injury. At 6 months, the rate of PPC in our cohort was 25%, with no differences between operative and non-operative patients (29% vs. 24%,
conclusionsThis pilot study suggests no differences in PROs following operative and non-operative management for SH-II distal tibia fractures; however, future studies with larger cohort sizes and longer follow-up times are needed to further examine these outcomes.
