Medial Hoffa's Fracture Treated with Subvastus Approach - Case Series.
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
Introduction: Medial Hoffa's fractures are rare coronal plane fractures of the distal femur, often missed on initial radiographs. Early diagnosis and anatomical fixation are essential for good functional recovery. Case Report: We present three cases of medial Hoffa's fracture in adult patients following high-energy trauma. All were diagnosed using computed tomography scans. Surgical fixation was performed using headless compression screws through a subvastus approach. Post-operative rehabilitation protocols varied slightly, but all patients achieved satisfactory union and function by 6-9 months. Conclusion: High suspicion, advanced imaging, and stable fixation are vital for optimal outcomes in medial Hoffa's fractures. Consistent anatomical reduction across cases resulted in excellent functional recovery.
