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: Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures, lateral collateral ligament (LCL)-biceps femoris complex avulsion injuries are relatively uncommon injuries, and associated diaphyseal tibia fracture further is the rarest combination. It is challenging to diagnose such complex injuries, and missed injuries, particularly at the knee can lead to significant instability, increasing patients' morbidity. Case Report: A 25-year-old male patient was diagnosed with PCL avulsion fracture, LCL - biceps femoris complex injury at the fibular side with Type I open mid-shaft both-bone leg fracture following a road traffic accident. Patient was operated with intramedullary nailing for tibia fracture on an emergency basis. Electively, the patient was managed with arthroscopic fixation of PCL avulsion fracture with pullout suture technique using two No. 2 fibre wires and secured at two locking screws of tibial nail without any further usage of fixation device on tibial surface. LCL - biceps femoris complex avulsion at fibular head was fixed back to the bone using two titanium double-loaded anchors. Patient was placed on a knee brace for 6 weeks. Knee range of movement was started at 3 weeks, allowing full range at 6 weeks. Partial weight bearing was allowed at 3 weeks and full weight bearing at 6 weeks. At 18-month follow-up, the patient showed complete recovery getting back to his routine. There was complete radiological union of all the fractures with an excellent functional score of 96 (Lysholm knee score). Conclusion: PCL avulsion fractures and LCL-biceps femoris complex avulsion injuries are serious injuries compromising knee stability significantly. Added with, ipsilateral tibia fracture makes the surgical decision very challenging. Therefore, it needs careful planning and a meticulous approach to attain complete functional outcome and to avoid complications.
