UPDATES ON THE TREATMENT OF ANTERIOR TIBIAL TUBEROSITY AVULSION FRACTURES IN ADOLESCENTS.
Review in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 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
Anterior tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture (ATF) is a rare injury in adolescents, usually associated with sports activities, ranging from mild to complex cases. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to recover knee function and avoid complications. This study analyzed updates and innovations in the treatment of ATF in adolescents, highlighting recent therapeutic approaches and their efficacy. A narrative review of the literature was performed in the Lilacs, PubMed and Capes Periodicals databases. Treatment should be individualized, with a conservative approach for stable fractures and surgical fixation for severe cases. Advances such as fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous fixation have optimized recovery, allowing better joint assessment and less invasiveness. Postoperative management emphasizes early mobilization and physiotherapeutic rehabilitation, favoring functional recovery and a safe return to sports. The prognosis is generally favorable, provided the diagnosis is accurate and the follow-up is rigorous. Rehabilitation is essential to restore muscle strength and prevent relapses. Despite advances, the scarcity of long-term studies highlights the need for more research to standardize protocols and improve clinical outcomes.
