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
backgroundThe use of intramedullary elastic nailing is a method of choice for prevention of complications in children with osteogenesis imperfecta. However, the morphology of the growing long bones in the conditions created was not investigated.
aimThe purpose of our experiment was to study the impact of elastic intramedullary nailing on the histostructure of long bones in their physiological growth.
methodsSix mongrel dogs underwent intramedullary elastic transphyseal nailing of the intact tibia with two titanium wires. Six months after nailing, a light-optical microscopic and histomorphometric study of the operated and contralateral tibiae was performed.
resultsIt was found that asymmetric lesion of the distal physis induces a decrease in the height of the distal epimetaphysis. Adaptive changes in the hyaline cartilage of both articular ends were revealed corresponding to the initial stage of chondropathy. Intramedullary nailing promotes an increase in the thickness of the compact bone and the volume of the trabecular bone.
conclusionsElastic transphyseal nailing of the intact tibia has a shaping effect which is expressed by an increase in the volume of spongy and compact bone, adaptive changes in the hyaline cartilage. Asymmetric damage to growth zones should be avoided to prevent deformities.
