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

This is the first report of tibia plateau fracture (TPF) concomitant with a large cartilage injury, which was treated with consecutive procedures comprising internal fixation and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI). A 49-year-old male patient was diagnosed with a medial tibial plateau fracture concomitant with a large medial femoral condyle cartilage injury. The patient underwent internal fixation and ACI at a 4-week interval. One year after the surgery, he could resume daily activities and sports. Magnetic resonance imaging and arthroscopic findings showed that the injured cartilage was covered by hyaline cartilage-like tissue. TPF concomitant with large cartilage injury can be treated with consecutive internal fixation and ACI procedures, shortening the overall treatment period and favorable outcomes.
