Joint line rim-plate combined with horizontal belt plate in the treatment of hyperextension tibial plateau fracture: our clinical and radiological results.

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
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of combined medial and lateral approaches with horizontal belt plate fixation for treating hyperextension-type bicondylar tibial plateau fractures. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 10 patients with hyperextension-type bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated between March 2023 and March 2024 using a combined medial-lateral approach and anterior joint line rim-plate fixation. During surgery, the infrapatellar tendon was released to create a horizontal rim-plate channel. A pre-contoured tubular locking plate was fixed anteriorly to the tibial plateau. A T-shaped main plate was placed on the medial or lateral side based on fracture patterns. Screws from medial, lateral, and anterior plates formed a "fence-like" structure. Results: All 10 patients achieved bony union with an average follow-up of 14 months. Postoperative radiographs demonstrated restored posterior tibial slope angles. The average Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score was 88.7, with knee range of motion averaging 113°. No wound complications or implant failures were observed. Conclusion: Preliminary results indicate that combined medial-lateral approaches with horizontal belt plate fixation are a safe and effective option for hyperextension-type bicondylar tibial plateau fractures. Restoration of lower limb alignment, correction of posterior tibial slope, and joint surface congruity are critical for optimal outcomes.
