Bone transport using the Ilizarov method for osteosarcoma patients with tumor resection and neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Article in Journal of bone oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundStudies on the applications of bone transport using the Ilizarov method for osteosarcoma (OS) patients with surgical resection and neoadjuvant chemotherapy are rare.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted in 10 patients with limb OS receiving limb-salvage treatment by Ilizarov method from 2007 to 2012 in our hospital. The general information, treatment outcomes and follow-up data of the patients were collected.
resultsThe mean length of the transported fragment and the mean transport distance of the affected limb were both 14 cm. The mean time in the external fixator was 34.2 ± 11.2 months (16-47 months) and the mean external fixation index (EFI) was 75 days/cm. The mean follow-up time was 68.6 ± 26.6 months (37-103 months). Seven patients underwent additional operations to treat the postoperative complications, and the mean number of operation was 1.7 times. Only one patient underwent amputation due to tumor relapse and all patients survived without tumor. The limb-salvage rate was 90%. At the time of external fixator removal, the ASAMI-bone score was good in 66.7% of patients and the ASAMI-function score was fair in 66.7% of cases. The mean MSTS score was 18.6 ± 3.2 (
conclusionBone transport using the Ilizarov method can achieve good therapeutic effectiveness in the limb-salvage treatment for OS patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy as long as the complications can be timely recognized and well managed.
