Functional outcomes of proximal tibia fractures in adults using KOOS.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Complex intra-articular injuries like proximal tibial fractures need validated patient-reported functional outcomes. Functional outcomes of 30 adults undergoing locking plate ORIF for closed proximal tibia fractures were assessed via KOOS at 1.5, 3 and 6 months postoperatively (September 2022-February 2024). The cohort consisted of middle-aged males (76.7%, mean age 44.33 ± 13.19 years) with the most common fracture patterns being Schatzker Type-5 (46.7%) and Type-6 (30%). Patients experienced bone union at 15.03 ± 1.61 weeks without complications. Overall KOOS scores improved significantly from 6 weeks to 6 months (51.80 ± 8.79 to 85.73 ± 4.65, p<0.001), with sport/recreation function gaining the most (30.83 to 74.50). Open reduction and internal fixation with locking plate constructs improves functional outcomes in proximal tibial fractures, and KOOS can assess mid-term functional recovery across Schatzker classification types.
