The clinical implications of heterotopic ossification in patients treated with radial head replacement for trauma: A case series and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Radial head arthroplasty (RHA) is an acceptable treatment for comminuted radial head fractures (RHF). Fourteen patients with no postop HO prophylaxis were treated with RHA for comminuted RHF. A 50% incidence in HO was seen following RHA with a statistically increased risk (p ≤ 0.05) of reoperation compared to those without HO. Decreased ROM was seen on the affected side (p ≤ 0.05); patients without HO showed no statistical difference (p ≥ 0.05) in ROM or grip strength. HO following RHA increases patient risk for reoperation and decreases ROM. We recommend HO prophylaxis with NSAIDs and/or radiotherapy if no direct patient contraindications are found.
