Proximal Tibial Epiphyseal Injury in a 14-Year-Old Asian Male With Vitamin D Deficiency as a Possible Cause: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in orthopedics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
We report a case of a 14-year-old Asian male who presented with a Salter-Harris Type II injury of the proximal tibial epiphysis and a fibular fracture following a minor mechanism of injury. The patient was emergency transported to our hospital with complaints of pain and flexion deformity around the left knee following a contusion. Imaging studies confirmed the diagnosis of a Salter-Harris Type II injury of the proximal tibial epiphysis. Given the minor mechanism of injury, blood tests revealed vitamin D deficiency. Under general anesthesia, manual reduction and percutaneous pin fixation were performed, resulting in good bone union and functional recovery. This case highlights the importance of considering vitamin D status when managing pediatric fractures following minor mechanisms of injury or unusual fractures and epiphyseal injuries.
