Mid- to long-term results of modified avascular fibular grafting for ONFH.
Review in Journal of hip preservation surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Free vascularized fibular grafting was reported a favorable method to prevent the collapse of the femoral head. This study analyzed the mid- to long-term outcomes of avascular fibular grafting (AVFG) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) with 6- to 8-year follow-up. From March 2009 to March 2012, 34 patients (48 hips) were diagnosed with ONFH operated with AVFG in Jiangsu Province Hospital of traditional Chinese Medicine. We retrospectively reviewed the clinic outcomes of these patients and evaluated the differences in outcomes by diverse stages [Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO)] and types [China-Japan Friendship Hospital (CJFH) classification] annually. The hip survival rate, Harris hip score (HHS), activity level and imaging stability were calculated. The average follow-up time was 6.7 years. At the last follow-up, 34 of 48 hips survived totally. According to the ARCO stage, the overall clinical success rate for hip preserving were 76.0% (19/25) in II stage, 85.7% (12/14) in IIIA stage and 33.3% (3/9) in IIIB stage. Referring to the CJFH classification system, the hip survival rate were 100% (2/2) in M type, 90.9% (10/11) in C type, 77.8% (14/18) in L1 type, 57.1% (8/14) in L2 type and 0% (0/3) in L3 type. The mean visual analog scale (VAS) score, HHS and Western Ontario McMaster Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) were significantly improved at the final follow-up compared with pre-operative values (
