Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Open fractures are associated with a higher rate of infections and delayed fracture healing; therefore, in addition to fracture fixation, infection prevention and soft tissue management are also important. Administration of antibiotics should be carried out as early as possible and over 24-72 h depending on the injury. The initial debridement and assessment of the severity of injury determine the treatment strategy. Fracture fixation follows the general traumatological principles. Simple injury patterns can be treated by primary fixation and wound closure. With substantial contamination, loss of bone or extensive soft tissue damage, temporary fixation and temporary wound closure are carried out. The definitive treatment with soft tissue coverage should be performed within 72 h in order to reduce the risk of fracture-related infections. For osseous segmental defects, different approaches are available to restore bone continuity, depending on the size and soft tissue situation.
