1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A 13-year-old struck by a car developed knee swelling and varus instability after treatment of a traumatic brain injury. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a displaced osseous avulsion of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) from the fibular head with partial biceps femoris rupture, without meniscal or cruciate injury. After arthroscopic exclusion of intra-articular pathology, the fragment was reduced and fixed laterally using two suture anchors and a transosseous stitch, preserving the proximal fibular physis. At 1 year, the knee was stable and radiographs were normal. In displaced pediatric fibular LCL avulsions, prompt recognition and physeal-sparing suture-anchor fixation can restore stability, support early rehabilitation, and minimize growth-disturbance risk.
