The beginnings of orthopaedics in Romania.
Review in International orthopaedics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aim of the studyTo offer a glimpse into the orthopaedic practice in Romania during the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century, corresponding to a period when this surgical specialty was defining itself.
introductionAs in other parts of the world, in Romania, the orthopaedics and traumatology specialty derived from the main general surgery core. At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Romanian doctors were eager to improve and to further develop the medical practice in their home country and, thus, the development of the orthopaedics and traumatology also benefited from this enthusiasm.
methodA review of the literature was performed and both the online and offline libraries were searched for specific terms. The resulted data was structured and edited into separate subchapters for each doctor.
resultsSummarized biographic information are presented, covering the most distinguished figures that have helped develop orthopedic surgical branch in Romania. Great doctors such as Carol Davila (1828-1884), Constantin Dumitrescu Severeanu (1840-1930), Ernest Juvara (1870-1933), Ioan (Ion) Ghiulamila (1872-1936), Ion (Iancu) Jianu (1880-1972), and Alexandru D. Rădulescu (1886-1979) are some of the most renowned for laying the foundation and for developing modern orthopaedics and traumatology in Romania. DISCUSSION: Although up until the late 1860s all doctors practicing in Romania graduated from widely recognized European medical schools, after this period, great surgeons graduated from its own Romanian National Medical School. This led to a blooming development in the surgical and medical field as physicians were competing with each other to bring the best treatments and techniques in medical practice.
conclusionAlthough orthopaedic practice in the early nineteenth century was poorly represented, after sustained reforms and great visionary surgeons, it had rapidly developed into a separate and well-defined surgical specialty by the early twentieth century.
