Bicolumnar Stabilization of Bicondylar Tibial Plateau Injuries: A Prospective Study of Combined Buttress Plate and Titanium Elastic Nail Fixation.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic 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: Bicondylar tibial plateau fractures are complex intra-articular injuries that require stable fixation and early mobilization. Bicolumnar fixation using a buttress plate combined with a titanium elastic nail system (TENS) aims to provide biomechanical stability while preserving soft-tissue integrity. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 60 adult patients with bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated with bicolumnar fixation. Demographic data, operative parameters, clinical union, complications, and functional outcomes were analyzed. Results: The mean age of the patients was 37.4 ± 12.38 years. Clinical union was achieved in 36.7% of the patients. Significant differences were observed in operative time and blood loss between the sexes. Age and clinical union were significant predictors of the post-operative knee range of motion. Conclusion: Bicolumnar fixation using a buttress plate and a TENS nail provides acceptable clinical and functional outcomes with stable fixation in bicondylar tibial plateau fractures.
