[Macroscopic and functional anatomy of the apophyseal plate].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
Apophyses are growth zones attached to the shaft (corpus) of larger bones. They vary in size and develop their own ossification centres or form as part of an usually fibrocartilaginous tendon or ligament insertion. The structure of the cartilaginous apophyseal plate is very similar to that of an epiphyseal growth plate and like these they are adapted to withstand perpendicular compressive forces without becoming harmed. This is best highlighted by the fact that their mineralized borders always orient themselves perpendicular to the overall resulting force vector. The edges of the apophyseal plates are characteristically bent which allows them to resist moderate shear forces. Like the epiphyseal plates the apophyseal plates exhibit a zonal organization which is not very well adapted to permanently withstand shear forces, especially if they occur under dynamic conditions. In these situations the tendinous insertions with their collagen fibre anchoring system have to provide compensation when balancing the load transmitted across the system.
