Surgical Management of a Proximal Tibial Epiphyseal Fracture in a Pediatric Patient with Osteogenesis Imperfecta.
Article in Cureus, 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
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heritable connective tissue disorder characterized by defective type I collagen synthesis, leading to reduced bone strength and increased susceptibility to fractures, often with minimal trauma. Fractures involving the tibial tuberosity are rare and typically occur in adolescents during periods of rapid growth, usually following high-demand activities. We report a case of a 14-year-old male with type I OI who sustained a displaced tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture with epiphyseal and intra-articular extension (Salter-Harris type III, Ogden type IIIA) following low-energy trauma. Surgical management was undertaken via open reduction and internal fixation using partially threaded lag screws through a medial parapatellar approach, with precautions tailored to the patient's underlying bone fragility. Postoperative recovery was favorable, and the patient remained under multidisciplinary follow-up. This case emphasizes the importance of individualized surgical planning and technique in patients with OI to ensure stable fixation and minimize complications associated with bone fragility.
