Geometric analyses

See the shape of the evidence.

Interactive teaching views make joint outcomes, tails, and tradeoffs visible. Every analysis separates published quantities from illustrative geometry.

Clinical phase space · Fibular nail vs ORIF

The cluster doesn’t move. The tail disappears.

An interactive view of similar 12-month function alongside markedly different complication tails. Toggle between published estimates and a simulated patient cloud, resample the cohort, and translate the pooled risk ratio across illustrative baseline risks.

Simulation clearly labeled: patient-level dots, soft-tissue scores, and their pairing are illustrative—not measured.

Published inputs: 5/109 vs 21/103 complications; functional SMD 0.11; pooled risk ratio 0.30.
