Hardware considerations in infection and nonunion management: When and how to revise the fixation.
Article in OTA international : the open access journal of orthopaedic trauma, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
The occurrence of both nonunion and fracture-related infection provides challenges for both the patient and the treating orthopaedic surgeon, with the potential need for complex reconstructive procedures to achieve union and/or eradicate infection. In addition to addressing the multiple different factors that often contribute to nonunion, surgeons are often forced to deal with difficult hardware issues at the time of revision surgery including infected hardware, loose or failing hardware, malaligned hardware, or inappropriate hardware constructs. This article reviews common causes of nonunions with emphasis on infection management and provides indications and techniques for hardware removal in the context of an algorithmic approach to nonunion management with illustrative case examples.
