The use of non-vascularized bone grafts to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head: indications, techniques, and outcomes.
Synthesis in International orthopaedics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a multi-factorial disease with relatively unknown aetiology and unclear pathogenetic mechanism. Left untreated, the natural history of the disease is progressive collapse of the femoral head and destruction of the joint with substantial pain and disability. The disease primarily affects younger individuals, in whom many surgeons will typically prefer to delay performing total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, increasing attention has been given to a wide variety of femoral head-preserving procedures. The use of non-vascularized bone grafting (NVBG) to treat ONFH has mainly been advocated for pre-collapse and select, early post-collapse lesions. Currently, multiple studies reported on various non-vascularized bone grafting techniques of treating ONFH. Clinical outcomes have varied widely, with success rates reported between 55 and 87% in the short- to mid-term, with long-term results lacking. Due to the current paucity of studies, in this review we aimed to discuss (1) indications, (2) techniques, and (3) outcomes of non-vascularized bone grafting used to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
