Modified technique of advanced core decompression for treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundOsteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a destructive condition most commonly affecting young and middle-aged patients. The leading consequence of ONFH is often a significant articular disability. Effective joint-preserving surgical treatments are urgently needed for patients with early stage ONFH when outcomes of treatment are in general better than the advanced stage disease.
aimTo introduce a new surgery procedure called percutaneous expanded core decompression and mixed bone graft technique, which is a new way of joint-preserving surgical treatments.
methodsThe clinical data of 6 patients with ONFH diagnosed and treated with the procedure called percutaneous expanded core decompression and mixed bone graft technique at The First Hospital of Qiqihar from March 2013 to August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed; the follow-up ended in December 2019.
resultsThere were 6 male patients with an average age of 43 years in our study. Gratifying results have been obtained from the comparison of Harris hip score, visual analogue scale, and imaging examination before and after operation.
conclusionThis new modified technique is simple, safe, and reliable. No serious perioperative complications were observed in our cases. Advantages of the single blade expandable reamer are obvious. The adjuvant substance is inexpensive and easy to obtain. Thus, this technique is an effective joint-preserving surgical treatment for patients with early stage of ONFH.
