Fixed Flexion Deformity due to Displaced Hoffa Fracture: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Hoffa fractures of the femoral condyles are rare, especially in the pediatric population. A Hoffa fracture causing an acute fixed flexion deformity has never been described in literature. Case Report: A 14-year-old girl sustained a complex Hoffa Fracture of the lateral femoral condyle of her left knee, which caused acute locking of the patella distal to this fracture and subsequent a fixed hyperflexion deformity. After radiological imaging, this fracture was closely reduced in the operation room. Four days after trauma, the fracture was arthroscopically treated with 2 headless compression screws. Conclusions: Urgent recognition of Hoffa fractures is of utmost importance. Quick and adequate evaluation and surgical treatment of these fractures improve the return to normal activity level and decrease the complications.
