Step-by-step reduction utilizing a one-third tubular plate in surgery for distal femur fracture with severe metaphyseal comminution: A case report.
Article in Trauma case reports, 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: Surgery for distal femur fractures with metaphyseal comminution remains challenging due to the multiplanar displacement, including the coronal and sagittal alignment, rotation, and length. Case presentation: A 42-year-old male fell from a height and sustained a distal femur fracture with severe metaphyseal comminution. In surgery, a supplemental one-third tubular plate was placed medially for provisional fixation, enabling a sequential reduction for length, rotation, sagittal alignment, and coronal alignment. The fracture was finally stabilized with a lateral locking plate. The reduction parameters achieved and the functional outcome were satisfactory. Conclusion: The one-third tubular plate simplified the reduction process by decomposing the multiplanar reduction into three dimensions and enabling a step-by-step approach.
