Bone transport with magnetic intramedullary nails in long bone defects.
Review in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundThis study describes the outcomes of internal bone transport with magnetic nails in five cases of traumatic segmental femoral bone defects.
methodsFive patients with open fracture of the femur and diaphyseal bone loss were included between May 2018 and August 2020. The mean femoral defect was 8.7 cm (range 5.6-16.0).
interventionWe used plate-assisted bone segment transport (PABST) with PRECICE magnetic nails.
resultsAll five patients have fully consolidated. The mean consolidation time and index were 7.5 months and 0.8 mo/cm, respectively. The mean follow-up was 21.3 months. The main complications were reduced knee ROM, mild varus deformity and plate bending. Post-operative SF-36, Oxford Knee scores and ED-5Q-5L scores were also compiled for four of five patients. SF-36 and Oxford Knee scores were reported without pre-injury data for comparison. ED-5Q-5L index and VAS were compared UK population norm and were both found to be statistically insignificant (p = 0.071 and p = 0.068, respectively).
conclusionBone transport with magnetic nails has the capacity to obtain good functional recovery in long bone defects despite variable outcome pictures. In response to variable outcome reporting in the literature, we propose a standard reporting template for future studies to facilitate more rigorous analyses.
