1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Currently, animal models used in research on implant-associated osteomyelitis primarily use intramedullary fixation and initial inoculum of planktonic bacterial cells. However, these techniques have certain limitations, including lack of rotational stability and instable inoculation. To improve these models, the present study aimed to establish a novel rabbit model of implant-associated osteomyelitis using biofilm as the initial inoculum following plate fixation of the femoral fracture. A total of 24 New Zealand White rabbits were randomly divided into two equal groups. Osteotomy was performed at the right femoral shaft using a wire saw following fixation with a 5-hole stainless steel plate. The plates were not colonized with bacteria in group 1, but colonized with a biofilm of
