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
Objective: To quantify the three-dimensional (3D) displacement characteristics of the posterior facet fragment in Sanders type II and III intra-articular calcaneal fractures (IACFs) caused by falls from height, thereby providing a quantitative anatomical reference for reduction planning. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed CT data from 71 patients with closed Sanders type II/III IACFs. Mimics and 3-matic software were utilized for 3D reconstruction and simulated reduction. The translational and rotational changes of the fragment's geometric center were measured before and after reduction. Results: Significant displacement occurred in all directions ( Conclusion: Posterior facet fragments primarily displace inferolaterally with significant internal rotation (∼17.62°) and anterior tilt. These findings suggest that rotational malalignment, particularly axial-plane internal rotation and sagittal-plane anterior tilt, may be an important but easily overlooked component of posterior facet displacement. The results may provide a quantitative anatomical reference for preoperative planning and intraoperative assessment of reduction, although further biomechanical and clinical validation is required.
