The orthopaedic management of long bone deformities in genetically and acquired generalized bone weakening conditions.
Review in Journal of children's orthopaedics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
purposeDiseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, fibrous dysplasia, hypophosphataemic rickets and others lead to soft and weak bones and long bone deformity in affected patients. As a consequence, these patients lose their walking capacity and functional abilities of the upper extremities as well.
methodsIn combination with bisphosphonate treatment and physical rehabilitation programmes surgical interventions are being applied to correct and stabilize the deformed and less mechanically resistant long bones. Intramedullary devices, ideally with an elongating telescopic mechanism, have proven to be the most suitable implants.
resultsThe surgical correction and stabilization of deformed bones in weak bone diseases is very beneficial to the patients. Pain restriction, reduction of fracture events, minimization of consequences of traumatic events and falls have resulted in a significant functional improvement. The patients live on a better activity level with a much-improved individual independence. Despite a high complication and revision rate of the intramedullary rods the gain of quality of life outweighs these negative aspects by far.
conclusionOrthopaedic surgical treatment for deformed bones in patients with weak bone diseases has changed the life of the patients and plays a very important role in the disease management protocols.This paper was written under the guidance of the Study Group Genetics and Metabolic Diseases of the European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society.
