Article in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Pseudarthrosis development is dependent on the presence of individual risk factors in approximately 10% as a result of fractures and are more frequently located in the region of the long bones. The development of non-union regularly results in prolonged pain and reduced functionality of the affected limb. The resulting clearly increased socioeconomic costs are caused by the complex operative treatment strategies and increased indirect costs, which include lost wages, social benefits and compensation. Altogether, non-unions require a differentiated therapeutic treatment strategy. The analysis of the non-union based on the diamond concept is the key for a successful planning and therapy. In this context, the use of focused, high-energy extracorporeal shock waves may be possible under specific circumstances; however, in most cases an operative revision is necessary to optimize the biomechanical stability and/or improve the local biology.
