The XML and XSL that you posted is so fragmented it is very hard to
help. It is much better to post small but well formed examples.
<xsl:for-each select="topic/detail">
That processes all the detail grandchildren of the current element.
<xsl:if test="$matrix=1">
That would test if the variable matrix had value 1 (as this test doesn't
depend on the current detail node then it would test either true for all
items or false for all items, depending on the value of matrix.
<xsl:if test="matrix=1">
That would test if the string value of the matrix element that is a
child of the current detail element if coerced to a number had value 1.
This test would have potentially different results for each item in teh
sequence selected by the xsl:for-each.
<xsl:if match=".[matrix=1]">
That is a syntax error, xsl:if does not have a match attribute, and so
the stylesheet would produce no results.
given
<topic>
<detail>
<matrix>1</matrix>
and assuming that the current node is /
then it would appear that you want
<xsl:for-each select="topic/detail">
<xsl:if test="matrix=1">
...
or more simply
<xsl:for-each select="topic/detail[matrix=1]">
