Surgical Ectrodactyly Repair Using Limb-lengthening and Bone Tissue Engineering Techniques in a Toy Dog Breed.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND/
aimBone tissue engineering is an emerging field of regenerative medicine that holds promise for the restoration of bones affected by trauma, neoplastic diseases, and congenital deformity. During the past decade, bone tissue engineering has evolved from the use of biomaterials that can only replace small areas of damaged bone, to the use of scaffolds in which grafts can be seeded before implantation. This case report proposes an alternative option for a veterinary patient suffering from ectrodactyly, which is one of several congenital deformities in dogs. A 2-month-old male toy poodle dog with ectrodactyly was treated using several stages of surgery involving pancarpal arthrodesis, limb lengthening, and bone tissue engineering techniques. RESULTS AND
conclusionOver a period of 2 years, the operated limb gained almost the same function as the contralateral limb. Bone tissue engineering techniques can be used for the treatment of congenital deformities in dogs.
