1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To explore the effectiveness of minimally invasive osteotomy Ilizarov technique combined with intramedullary nail for femoral lengthening. Methods: Seventy-one patients with femoral shortening deformity who met the selection criteria between January 2013 and June 2016 were randomly divided into trial group (36 cases were treated with minimally invasive osteotomy Ilizarov technique combined with intramedullary nail for femoral lengthening) and control group (35 cases were treated with simple Ilizarov technique for femoral lengthening). There was no significant difference in age, gender, causes of femoral shortening, length of femoral shortening, rate of femoral deformity between the two groups ( Results: The patients of two groups were followed up 12-60 months (mean, 31 months). Pin tract infection occured in 8 cases (10 pins), including 1 case (1 pin) in the trial group and 7 cases (9 pins) in the control group. There was significant difference in the incidence of pin tract infection between the two groups ( Conclusion: The minimally invasive osteotomy Ilizarov technique combined with intramedullary nail in femoral lengthening increases the operation time, but the external fixation duration and incidence of pin tract infection are significantly reduced and the function of knee is significantly improved.
