Efficacy of Infection Eradication in Antibiotic Cement-Coated Intramedullary Nails for Fracture-Related Infections, Nonunions, and Fusions.
Article in Antibiotics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Antibiotic cement-coated intramedullary nails (ACCINs) are increasing in popularity as a viable solution for the treatment of fracture-related infections (FRIs), infected long bone nonunions, and arthrodeses without an external fixator. ACCINs effectively manage to fulfill three of the basic principles for eradicating osteomyelitis: dead space management, antibiotic delivery, and bone stability. We performed a retrospective review of 111 patients who were treated with ACCINs between January 2014 and December 2020. In our series, 87.4% (
