Cementing Osseointegration Implants Results in Loosening: Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Skeletal transcutaneous osseointegration was performed on a 54-year-old female transfemoral amputee. None of the available osseointegration implants achieved press-fit stability, so an implant was cemented in position. Although initially stable, by six months the patient reported painful loading and radiographs revealed cement mantle lucency. The osseointegration implant was removed, antibiotics were delivered via implanted spacer and intravenously, and revision osseointegration three months later achieved appropriate immediate press-fit stability. Cemented transcutaneous osseointegration implants loosen within one year. Osseointegration is only successful when bone grows directly onto the implant.
