Biomechanical evaluation of asymmetric metaphyseal cone applications for lateral tibial plateau fractures : a finite element study.
Article in Bone & joint research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Aims: Tibial plateau fractures (TPFs) commonly occur in older osteoporotic individuals and pose significant challenges during acute total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical performance of asymmetric metaphyseal cones in managing lateral TPFs during acute TKA. Methods: A finite element model was developed using a generic size 5 tibia geometry with an integrated asymmetric metaphyseal cone system. Various lateral TPF patterns were systematically simulated through 12 uncontained defect configurations, quantified by the unsupported surface area ratios of the cone ( Results: The implant system demonstrated stable biomechanical performance across all loading conditions when Conclusion: Asymmetric metaphyseal cones provide effective stabilization for lateral uncontained defects, managing micromotions and bone strains within clinically safe limits. The recommended maximum defect size for cone treatment is an unsupported area ratio
