Wrist fusion using an induced membrane technique for forearm salvage in a patient with an infected open injury with segmental bone loss: A case report.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
This case report describes the management of a 27-year-old male who, after a quadbike accident, presented with an open, infected, segmental both bone forearm injury with significant bone and soft tissue loss including the radio-carpal joint. Limb salvage was accomplished in the form of a single bone forearm fusion utilising Masquelet's two-stage induced membrane technique to reconstruct the segmental bone defect. The patient proceeded to uneventful bony union by 6 months and returned to driving and riding a quadbike. Despite significant deep infection, successful salvage was achieved using the induced membrane technique. Critical to success was aggressive, repeated debridement alongside restoration of vascular supply and reconstruction of soft tissue defects. We highlight the multidisciplinary approach to management including relevant specialists with a particular interest in limb reconstruction.
