All Internal Bone Transport: Use of a Lengthening Nail and Double Plating for Management of Femoral Bone Loss.
Article in Strategies in trauma and limb reconstruction. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundVariety of techniques for management of segmental femoral bone loss have been described, each with different advantages and challenges during treatment. The development of motorized lengthening nails has provided a potential for all internal bone transport, avoiding some of the difficulties with external fixation in the femur. At present, there is limited published literature on experiences in this technique.
aimThe development of this technique aimed to overcome the difficulties previously reported for internal bone transport in the femur, particularly varus deformity and joint stiffness. TECHNIQUE: We describe the technique of double plating with bone transport utilizing a magnetic lengthening nail to manage segmental femoral bone loss. The benefits of the technique are discussed, along with specific challenges and lessons that have been learned through experience of internal bone transport.
conclusionUse of a magnetic lengthening nail and double plating as a method of all internal bone transport provides an option for the management of massive femoral bone loss, while avoiding some of the challenges that have been reported with the existing techniques. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This technique provides an additional method in the armamentarium of the trauma or limb reconstruction surgeon treating massive femoral bone loss.
