Does the use of 3D-printed cones give a chance to postpone the use of megaprostheses in patients with large bone defects in the knee joint?
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Revision procedures and the resulting bone loss are a big challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Therefore, we checked what functional outcomes that 3D-printed cone augments can offer to patients with bone defects (Anderson Orthopedic Research Institute [AORI] classification type 2B and 3) in the knee and whether the use of cones can delay the necessity to use a megaprotheses. Data from 64 patients (
