1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The paper provides an overview of the fracture healing process of long bones, a review of work that proposed appropriate physical parameters for the assessment of healing and highlights some recent work that reported on the development of non-radiative technique for healing assessment. An overview of the development and monitoring of osseointegration for trans-femoral osseointegrated implant is also presented. The state of healing of a fractured long bone and the stability of osseointegrated implants can be seen as engineering structural components where the mechanical properties are restored to facilitate their desired function. To this end, this paper describes non-radiative techniques that are useful for healing assessment and the stability assessment of osseointegrated implants. The achievement of non-radiative quantitative assessment methodologies to determine the state of healing of fractured long bones and to assess the stability of osseointegrated implant will shorten the patient's rehabilitation time, allowing earlier mobility and return to normal activities. Recent work on the development of assessment techniques supported by the Office of Naval Research as part of the Monitoring of Osseointegrated Implant Prosthesis program is highlighted.
