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
introductionThe avascular necrosis of the femoral head represents the death of bone tissue due to the lack of blood supply. The disease has a progressive evolution; it leads to femoral head collapse and severe arthritis when left untreated. The application of a pedicled bone flap graft is an effective treatment for femoral head necrosis. A pure Mg screw is a kind of degradable screw that can fix the grafted bone flap and prevent long-term stress occlusion and secondary dissection. CASE PRESENTATION: The report shows the results of the treatment of traumatic femoral head necrosis with a pedicled bone flap with pure Mg screw. A patient had avascular necrosis of the femoral head after 2 years of internal fixation of the femoral neck fracture. We removed the patient's internal fixation hollow nail, cleaned the necrotic bone tissue and took part of the same ipsilateral pedicle iliac bone graft in the femoral head defect with biodegradable pure Mg screw fixation. Within 2 years after the surgery, the patients had no significant progressive necrosis of the femoral head. Postoperative Harris scores showed that the patient's left hip function was significantly improved compared with his preoperative state. The pure Mg screw in the body had gradually degraded. After 2 years, the screw's diameter had been significantly reduced compared with 3 days after the surgery. The postoperative Harris score showed that the patient's left hip function was significantly improved compared with the second preoperative examination. DISCUSSION: The discussion includes the reasons for the choices of surgical approaches, the mode of pure Mg screw degradation and the postoperative functional assessment of the patient's left hip.
conclusionPure Mg screw fixation pedicled bone flap transplantation is an effective surgical treatment for femoral head necrosis in young patients. Pure Mg screw is a biodegradable internal fixation device with good biocompatibility, which has a good clinical application prospects. THE TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE: Degradable pure Mg screw has the potential to preserve hip joint therapy for the treatment of femoral head necrosis.
