[Non-unions. From diagnosis to healing].
Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Non-unions are a relevant medical and socio-economic problem. Hyper-, oligo- and atrophic non-unions as well as septic and aseptic non-unions are differentiated. Correct classification is essential for the selected therapy. The "diamond concept" describes five pillars, on which bone healing is based and that have to be considered in the treatment of non-unions: osteogenic cells (mesenchymal stem cells), osteoinduction (growth factors), osteoconduction (scaffolds), mechanical stability, and vascularization. Factors that predispose to non-union also influence fracture healing. The gold standard of therapy are still resection of the non-union, decortication and autologous bone grafting. No advantage could be proven for any of the numerous procedures in monotherapy. But the combination of various procedures - polytherapy - seems to be promising. The aim is to optimize these concepts.
