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

Introduction: A tricortical iliac crest graft can be used to reconstruct the lateral proximal tibial articular surface. Methods/Surgical Technique: Anterior tricortical iliac crest autograft from the ipsilateral pelvis is harvested to approximate the contour of the native tibial plateau. A lateral proximal tibial locking plate is used to fix the bony construct to the surrounding native bone. Case Report: Functionally, patients have been able to return to ambulation with and without an assistive device. Conclusion: Reconstruction of the joint surface with a tricortical iliac crest graft represents a novel surgical technique that may delay the need for arthroplasty and preserve bone stock for eventual knee replacement.
