Vascularized Iliac Bone Graft for Complex Closure During Spinal Deformity Surgery.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Spinal pseudarthrosis is failure of bony union across a segment where arthrodesis has been attempted. A variety of treatment approaches have been proposed to promote bony union, including use of vascularized bone graft. We report a successful application of vascularized pedicled iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) to treat recurrent lumbar and sacral pseudarthrosis. The vascularized ICBG offers the advantages of biocompatibility, mechanical stability, and minimal antigenicity. Vascularized bone transfers to the spine undergo fusion without resorption, even in the presence of compressive and rotatory forces. With its ease of access within the operative field and limited donor site morbidity, vascularized ICBG is an ideal orthobiologic that expedites time to bony union.
