Predictive Factors for Tillaux-Chaput Tubercle Fracture: A Case-Control Study.
Article in Foot & ankle orthopaedics, 2025. 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
Background: Tillaux-Chaput tubercle fractures in adults often go unnoticed on standard radiographs in the setting of other malleolar fractures. This study aimed to identify clinical and radiologic factors associated with these fractures to develop a decision aid for computed tomographic (CT) diagnosis. Methods: This case-control study included 72 patients with bimalleolar fractures who underwent both radiography and CT scans. The case group consisted of 28 patients with Tillaux-Chaput fractures, and 44 served as control. Sociodemographic, clinical data, and injury mechanisms were compared using univariate and multivariate analysis to identify predictive factors. Results: Tillaux-Chaput fractures were undetected on standard radiographs in 60% of cases. In multivariate analysis, only age >60 years and injury mechanisms with Lauge-Hansen pronation-external rotation stage III or IV injuries were found to be highly associated with Tillaux-Chaput tubercle fractures. Conclusion: We recommend routine CT scan evaluation for patients >60 years old with stage III or IV pronation-external rotation ankle fractures. Level of Evidence: Level III, case-control study.
