[Primary total knee arthroplasty in geriatric patients with tibial plateau fractures].
Review in Unfallchirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
Fractures around the knee joint are per se challenging to treat, often regardless of the patient's age. Osteosynthesis remains the gold standard for fracture management; however, geriatric patients are often unable to comply with postoperative weight-bearing restrictions on the osteosynthetically treated limb. This can result in a prolonged hospital stay and particularly in aged patients to an increased risk of internal complications. Secondary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with both higher complication and revision rates compared to primary TKA for acute fractures. The advantage of primary TKA for acute tibial plateau fractures is the possibility for early mobilization with full weight-bearing, even in patients with poor compliance. The aim of primary TKA in treating geriatric tibial plateau fractures is to perform only a single surgery on the injured knee joint (one-shot surgery). Individual patient assessment and an interdisciplinary treatment approach appear to be essential for this specific patient cohort and highlight the importance of primary fracture TKA.
