Surgical treatment of femoral deformities in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and McCune-Albright syndrome: A literature review.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundSurgical correction of femoral deformities in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (PFD) or McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS), such as coxa vara or shepherd's crook deformity, is a challenge.
aimTo evaluate the treatment of patients with femoral deformities caused by PDF or MAS treated by osteotomies and stabilized with different methods, by analyzing the most relevant studies on the topic.
methodsA literature search was performed in Medline database (PubMed). Articles were screened for patients affected by PFD or MAS surgically managed by osteotomies and stabilized with different methods.
resultsThe initial search produced 184 studies, with 15 fulfilling the eligibility criteria of our study. Selected articles (1987-2019) included 111 patients overall (136 femurs).
conclusionBased on our results, the preferred method to stabilize corrective osteotomies is intramedullary nailing with neck cross pinning. When the deformity is limited to the proximal part of the femur, a screw or blade plate may be used, although there is a high risk of fracture below the plate. When the femur is entirely involved, a two-stage procedure may be considered.
