The therapeutic effects of X-ray devitalization and replantation and alcoholic devitalization and replantation in adolescent patients with lower limb osteosarcoma.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo compare and analyze the therapeutic effects of X-ray devitalization and replantation and alcoholic devitalization and replantation in adolescent patients with lower limb osteosarcoma.
methodsWe collected clinical data for 43 osteosarcoma patients with limb salvage treatment treated in our hospital from February 2014 to February 2018. The patients were divided into x-ray devitalization and replantation group (n=23) and alcoholic devitalization and replantation group (n=20) based on the treatment methods. The two groups were compared in operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative fracture healing time, length of tumor bones, MSTS score and ISOLS score, postoperative complications, postoperative follow-ups and postoperative recurrence and metastases.
resultsOperation duration and intraoperative blood loss of the alcoholic group were less than that of the X-ray group, while postoperative fracture healing time of the alcoholic group was longer than that of the X-ray group (P<0.05). For the X-ray group, MSTS score and ISOLO score of the final follow-up were 26.13±2.65 and 32.53±3.73 respectively. For the alcoholic group, MSTS score and ISOLO score of the final follow-up were 23.69±3.27 and 30.98±3.56 respectively. MSTS score of the X-ray group was higher than that of the alcoholic group (P<0.05). There were 2 cases of internal fixation failure and 2 cases of adhesive knee joints stiffness in the X-ray group. As for the alcoholic group, there were 2 cases of internal fixation failure and 2 cases of incision soft tissue infection. There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative complications, recurrence, and metastases between the two groups (P>0.05).
conclusionBoth methods are convenient, inexpensive, and effective for adolescent patients with lower limb osteosarcoma. Alcoholic devitalization and replantation results in shorter operation duration and less intraoperative blood loss, while X-ray devitalization and replantation results in better postoperative limb function restoration.
