Comparison of core decompression and porous tantalum rod implantation with conservative treatment for avascular necrosis of the femoral head: A minimum 18 month follow-up study.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Porous tantalum rod implantation is a novel surgical method that is used to treat avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head (hip). In the present study, the results of core decompression and tantalum rod implantation were compared with non-surgical treatment for AVN, and the survivorship of the femoral head was evaluated. In total, 60 patients with AVN femoral head were recruited and analysed. Non-surgical treatment was selected by 30 patients (41 hips), 7 with a Ficat score of I and 23 with a score of II. Non-surgical treatment included celecoxib,
