[Callus distraction and bone transport in the treatment of bone defects].
Review in Der Orthopade, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundThe method of "callus distraction" is the only technique which spontaneously produces vascularized bone within the surrounding soft tissues during lengthening reconstructive procedures. Remodeling of the regenerate bone to specific mechanical load can be influenced by the surgeon. In principle, there is no limit to the amount of new bone formation which can be created; this vascularized bone is both resistant to infection and can be created to replace resected infected bone. This is an important prerequisite for the successful treatment of large bone defects. TECHNIQUE: The ring fixator is still a standard tool if no radiological control is available in the operating theater, or in other less sophisticated environments. Over the last 30 years, however, the development of motorized, external and fully implantable systems has made it possible to achieve a significant increase in device implementation, which goes far beyond the standard.
resultsHigh-performance, reliable, custom-made external and fully implantable systems are cost intensive and require special surgical skills, which can only be ensured at specialized centers. However, the complication-free treatment results justify the effort both for the patient and, ultimately, for the cost bearers.
