Computer-assisted Surgery for Scaphoid Fracture.
Review in Current medical science, 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
The computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has significantly improved the accuracy, reliability and outcomes of traumatic, spinal, nerve surgery and many other operations with a less invasive way. The application of CAS for scaphoid fractures remains experimental. The related studies are scanty and most of them are cadaver researches. Some intrinsic defects from the registration procedure, scan and immobilization of limbs may inevitably result in deviations. Some deviations become more obvious with operations of small bones (such as scaphoid) although they are acceptable for spine and other orthopedic surgeries. We reviewed the current literatures on the applications of CAS for scaphoid operation and summarized technical principles, scan and registration methods, immobilization of limbs and their outcomes. On the basis of the data, we analyzed the limitations of this technique and envisioned its future development.
