Evaluation of a new implant for Tibial Tuberosity Transposition in dogs: An ex vivo study.
Article in PloS one, 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
The present study aims to describe and evaluate the effectiveness and potential applicability of a new implant designed to transpose the tibial tuberosity. The implant consists of a customized plate for fixation on the tibia, containing a hole for the insertion of a transposition screw in the tibial tuberosity. Computed tomography was performed on 21 cadaveric canine tibias to plan the surgical technique and calculate the desired transposition. Subsequently, an osteotomy of the tibial tuberosity was performed, extending 60% of the lateral cortex and 80% of the medial cortex to maintain a bone bridge between the tibial shaft and the osteotomized segment. After the osteotomy, the implant was fixed to the tibia, and the tibial tuberosity was transposed slowly and gradually using the transposition screw. The samples underwent radiographic evaluation and manual palpation following the application to detect tibial crest fractures. The plate's shape adequately fit the medial surface of the tibia, and the implant was effective in promoting a slow and gradual transposition in canine cadavers without the need for an additional surgical device to perform the maneuver. The implant proved to be effective in achieving the desired transposition in a progressive, gradual, and slow manner.
