1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 induced membrane technique, first described by Masquelet, is a powerful surgical approach that can be used to address segmental bone loss of various aetiologies. Despite ongoing debate regarding optimal delivery, the indications and limits of its application have been tested in increasingly complex situations, highlighting its considerable potential. We present a case of a devastating open lower limb injury with simultaneous femoral and ipsilateral tibial bone loss including articular injury on both sides of the joint. The Masquelet technique was used to successfully address both segments of bone loss within the same limb.
