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

Fractures and osteotomies are characterized by a structural discontinuity of the affected bone with formation of a gap. If bone healing does not lead to an osseous bridging of the fragments within a time period of 6 months a nonunion (pseudarthrosis) occurs. In this stage spontaneous bone healing is unlikely in the future without any intervention. Pseudarthrosis is classified into hypertrophic and atrophic types. Moreover, the differentiation between aseptic and septic conditions, the size of the defect, the local blood supply and the mechanical stability are crucial for treatment planning. The type of pseudarthrosis and the accompanying comorbidities can be classified in scoring systems and influence the selection of the treatment procedure. The operative principles aim at the vitalization of atrophic bone parts, achieving sufficient stabilization and cures the infection, whereas nonoperative measures are primarily supportive measures. The foundation of successful treatment is the minimization of individual risk profiles and sufficient patient compliance.
