Preliminary Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of a Novel Resorbable Implant of Polylactic Acid (PLA) for Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA) by Modified Maquet Technique (MMT).
Article in Animals : an open access journal from MDPI, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Our objectives were to determine whether PLA implants can be used in TTA with successful results; secondly, to observe whether they provide a faster bone healing; finally, to determine whether weight or age influences bone healing scores. PLA cages were created with a 3D printer. TTA by MMT with PLA implants was performed in 24 patients. Follow-ups were carried out pre-surgical, at 1, 2, and 5 months and consisted of a radiographic study and a lameness assessment. A comparison was performed in terms of weight and age. Patients data, time between follow-up examinations, healing score, and lameness score were compared between patients using commercial software for statistically significant differences
