Reverse dome osteotomy for valgus knee from tibial plateau malunion in a young adult: a case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
Background: Malunion of tibial plateau fractures with valgus deformity can cause chronic pain and functional instability, especially in young, active patients. Anatomical correction of the deformity is essential to restore joint function and prevent progression of osteoarthritis. The corrective approach can be intra-articular or extra-articular osteotomy, depending on the type and location of the deformity. Case presentation: A 32-year-old woman presented with pain and instability of the right knee 2 years after trauma. Radiological examination showed a lateral tibial plateau fracture malunion with valgus deviation and articular surface depression. Arthroscopic examination showed intact anterior and posterior ligament integrity. Reverse dome osteotomy and internal fixation using plate and screw were performed by the trauma team, and lateral meniscus debridement was performed arthroscopically by the sports team. Results: Alignment correction and plateau elevation were successfully performed without ligament surgery. The patient showed significant improvement in pain, stability, and joint function, with ROM reaching 130° and good clinical function scores at 3-month postoperative evaluation. Conclusion: Reverse dome osteotomy is an effective technique for the correction of multiplanar deformity in tibial plateau malunion. Arthroscopic evaluation is important to assess joint stability and avoid unnecessary interventions.
