Reconstruction of Humeral Shaft Defect with an Intercalary Endoprosthesis Following Resection of Tumor.
Article in Orthopaedic surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Diaphyseal defects in long bones of extremities following segmental resection are very common in the clinic, and reconstruction remains a great challenge. Although there are many treatments for diaphyseal defects at present, reconstruction with an intercalary endoprosthesis may be an optimal method. We demonstrate a surgical technique for reconstruction of a humeral shaft defect with an intercalary endoprosthesis following tumor resection, and achieve a good clinical outcome. We conclude that in comparison with other methods, reconstruction with an intercalary endoprosthesis is simple, effective, and allows for earlier weight bearing and more rapid restoration of function.
