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
Tibial tuberosity fractures are relatively uncommon injuries that typically present in adolescents with open physis and are caused by strong contraction of the quadriceps muscle. Isolated tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures are a rare type of fracture among adults, which can occur due to a direct blow to the tibial tuberosity. Existing literature on this fracture type is rich, with many techniques describing the effective fragment fixation of the tibial tuberosity including k-wires, cannulated screws, plates, tension band wire, knotless suture anchors, or a combination of these. The purpose of this technical note is to describe a technique for the treatment of small avulsion tibial tuberosity fractures using a suture tape in a figure-of-eight configuration as a tension band accompanying one cannulated partial-threaded screw. This technique provides a simple and reproducible method, which offers a stable construct, allowing early patient mobilization without risk of symptomatic hardware and possible re-operation.
