High-speed electric-scooter crash causing a tibial spine fracture with physeal extension in an adolescent: a case report.
Article in Trauma 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
Tibial spine fractures are pediatric anterior cruciate ligament-equivalent avulsion injuries that can be radiographically subtle, leading to delayed or missed diagnosis. We report the case of a healthy 14-year-old girl who sustained a high-speed electric-scooter crash, landing on both knees in flexion. Initial radiographs obtained at a community hospital were interpreted as normal despite persistent pain, swelling, and complete functional impairment of the right lower limb. On re-evaluation, comparative anteroposterior and lateral radiographs revealed subtle elevation of the right tibial intercondylar eminence, and computed tomography confirmed a tibial spine avulsion with a Meyers-McKeever type II pattern, extending into the proximal tibial physis and associated with a nondisplaced tibial plateau fracture. The patient was treated nonoperatively with gentle closed reduction under sedation followed by six weeks of immobilization in a long-leg plaster cast in slight flexion. Post-reduction imaging showed anatomic alignment of the tibial spine fragment and maintained plateau congruity. At six weeks, radiographs documented union without secondary displacement, and by eight weeks she had symmetric range of motion and a stable Lachman test, with no pain or instability. This case report highlights the need for repeat and cross-sectional imaging when clinical suspicion persists and illustrates that carefully selected type II tibial spine fractures with associated injuries may be successfully managed without surgery.
