Vascularized Posterior Iliac Crest Bone Grafting: Indications, Techniques, Clinical Outcomes, and Alternatives.
Review in Seminars in plastic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Pseudarthrosis is a feared complication of spinal fusion procedures. Currently, the gold standard in prevention or treatment of pseudarthrosis is placement of nonvascularized iliac crest bone autograft. While rates of fusion are significantly higher in patients with use of nonvascularized bone autografts than with allografts, patients who have previously failed lumbar arthrodesis or those at a high risk for pseudarthrosis may benefit from a more robust, vascularized bone graft with enhanced osteogenicity. In this article, we discuss the use of iliac crest vascularized bone grafts as an adjunct for high-risk patients undergoing lumbosacral spine arthrodesis.
