Management of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia with the Ilizarov method in a paediatric population: influence of aetiological factors.

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
purposeOur study compared the rates of union achieved with the Ilizarov method in congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) or CPT of idiopathic origin in paediatric patients.
methodsWe studied the outcomes of 28 children that were treated for CPT between 2005 and 2013. Group 1 included children (n = 14, mean age = 9.7 years) with CPT associated with NF1 while group 2 were CPT cases that had radiographic confirmation of dysplastic lesions in the tibia but lacked clinical NF1 manifestations (n = 14, mean age = 8.6 years). There was no statistical difference between the groups regarding their age or number of previous operations per patient. Individual technical solutions were planned for each patient but coaptation of bone fragments and autologous local tissue grafting to achieve a greater bone thickness and contact area at the pseudarthrosis level were mainly used. Refracture-free rate after the first operation, number of re-operations per patient, and union rates in the groups were compared.
resultsBone union and weight bearing were obtained in all the cases after the first operation. Refracture-free rate was 42.86 % in group 1 and 35.71% in group 2 (no statistical difference, p > 0.05). Mean number of re-operations per patient was 1.07 and 0.78 respectively (p > 0.05). Subsequent treatment for refractures with the Ilizarov techniques gained 92.86% of union in both groups at the follow-ups by completion of the study (range, 2-9 years).
conclusionsThe Ilizarov method yields comparable results in the management of CPT associated with NF1 or tibial dysplasia of idiopathic origin in paediatric cases. Further research should focus on the ways to support the Ilizarov method in order to reduce the number of repetitive surgeries or eliminate them.
