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

objectiveThis study evaluated the efficacy and safety of CD combined with bone marrow stem cells in the treatment of femoral head necrosis by systematic review and meta-analysis.

resultsA total of 420 osteonecrosis of the femoral head 452 patients' data were collected from all studies. Compared with the core decompression alone group, the CD combined with bone marrow stem cell showed marked reduction in the Visual analog scale (VAS), enhanced Harris hip score (HHS) at 12 months and 24 months, slowed down the progression of the disease, decreased the number of hips conversed to total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the future.

conclusionCore decompression therapy is a very effective and safe treatment process used for ONFH. Moreover, CD combined autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation can improve the survival rate of the necrotic head, reduce hip pain and delay the disease progression, the rate of THA postoperatively.
