Stress shielding analysis on easy step staple prosthesis for calcaneus fractures.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
objectiveThe calcaneus is the most frequently injured tarsal bone, with calcaneal fractures meaning that 60% of the fractures affect the foot and about 1%-2% of all fractures.
methodsTwo 3D FE model of the foot were realized in order to compare the stress shielding occurring in a health foot and in a fractured one implanted with an easy step prosthesis by Stryker. This dispositive is indicated for calcaneus fractures.
resultsResults evidence the efficacy of this kind of prosthesis as the Eq. Von mises stresses are comparable in the two model. Higher concentration of stress are concentered on the Easy step.
conclusionIn conclusion, the easy step staple prosthesis allows obtaining excellent results in terms of calcaneus fracture treatments. The correct implant size for a given patient can be determined by evaluating the patient's height, weight, functional demands and anatomy.
