Percutaneous autologous bone marrow transplantation for the treatment of delayed union of limb bone in children.
Article in Therapeutics and clinical risk management, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
background and purposePercutaneous autologous bone marrow transplantation (PABMT) is a minimally invasive therapeutic strategy for the treatment of delayed bone union in adults, which has been confirmed by many studies. However, there is no report on PABMT application in pediatric orthopedic surgery. The aim of this article was to analyze the therapeutic effect of PABMT in children with delayed union of limb bone and its influence in relation to delayed bone union therapy, transplantation period, patients' sex, fracture location, and fracture fixation.
methodsIn this study, 53 patients (aged 3-16 years, with an average age of 6.7 years) with delayed union of long bone (20 femurs, 12 tibiae, 10 humeri, 5 radiuses, 5 ulnas, and 1 fibula) were treated using PABMT. Clinical examination and X-ray were integrated to evaluate the therapeutic effect.
resultsAll 53 patients were followed up for 2-6 years (average time, 3.5 years). Of the 53 patients, 47 (88.7%) were healed, whereas the other 6 (11.3%) were not, and were subsequently treated by autologous bone grafting. In 30 patients who received their first PABMT treatment 6-8 months after fixation, the clinical cure rate, operation times, and healing time were 83.3%, 5.8±0.5 months, and 2.5±0.6, respectively. In the other 23 patients, whose first PABMT treatments were started within 4 to 6 months after fixation, the clinical cure rate, operation times, and healing time were 95.7% (
conclusionPABMT is a minimally invasive and effective strategy for the treatment of delayed union of limb bone in children. The early surgical treatment facilitates the fracture healing, reduces the number of transplantation, and shortens the course of treatment.
