Proximal Tibiofibular Fracture Following Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 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
Introduction: Periprosthetic fractures following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are a relatively rare but clinically significant complication. Among these, proximal tibial and fibular fractures are even more uncommon. If not promptly and effectively treated, such fractures can significantly compromise the outcomes of UKA and the long-term survival of the prosthesis. Case: A 64-year-old female patient suffered a proximal tibiofibular fracture after accidentally falling following a UKA. Management and outcomes: We performed an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for the femoral fracture. One year postoperatively, follow-up examination indicated good fracture healing, stable prosthesis, and satisfactory knee joint range of motion, with no reported pain. Conclusion: The treatment of proximal tibiofibular fractures around the prosthesis after UKA should be based on the specific fracture location and type, the stability of the prosthesis, and the overall health condition of the patient, such as the presence of osteoporosis. Surgical intervention remains a viable option for treatment.
