An update on tibial tubercle avulsion fractures: a narrative review.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2026. 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
Adolescent tibial tubercle avulsion fracture (TTAF) is a rare knee injury resulting from the combination of anatomical fragility and mechanical stress. This narrative review provides an updated synthesis of current evidence on the epidemiology, imaging-based classification, management strategies, and outcomes of TTAF. In this update, we highlight the role of advanced imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in improving visualization of fracture morphology and associated soft tissue injuries; review emerging evidence supporting early range of motion (ROM) protocols to enhance postoperative recovery; and summarize recent data on compartment syndrome, emphasizing early recognition and prevention. We correlate fracture morphology, imaging characteristics, and fixation strategies with soft tissue involvement to further refine clinical decision-making. Nonoperative management remains appropriate for Ogden type IA fractures, whereas significantly displaced or complex fracture types require individualized surgical planning and careful selection of fixation devices. This review integrates the latest evidence and clinical practice to provide a concise, evidence-based framework for guiding personalized management of adolescent TTAF and improving patient outcomes.
