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
Objective: To analyze the similarities and differences of bone microstructure and apoptosis phenotype of lateral column, middle column, and medial column in type L2 and L3 osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) specimens classified by China-Japan Friendship Hospital (CJFH) classification, so as to carry out a quantitative study of ONFH "three-columns structure theory" and to provide research support for the treatment of ONFH by rotational osteotomy through the base of femoral neck. Methods: Discarded femoral head specimens from 16 patients (16 hips) with CJFH type L2 and L3 ONFH undergone total hip arthroplasty between April 2020 and February 2021 were selected as the research objects. First, the "three-column structure" of the femoral head was three-dimensionally segmented by Micro-CT, and the bone volume to total volume (BV/TV), bone surface area to bone volume ratio (BS/BV), trabecular spacing/separation (Tb.Sp), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), and trabecular number (Tb.N) in the lateral column, middle column, and medial column were analyzed to compare the similarities and differences of parameters related to bone mass and trabecular structure among the three columns. Then, the specimens were cut with a oscillating saw and made into paraffin sections for HE staining and immunohistochemical staining of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax). The differences of apoptosis phenotype between the three columns of ONFH samples of CJFH type L2 and L3 were evaluated by comparing the rate of empty lacunae and the rate of positive cells of immunohistochemical staining. Results: There were significant differences in BV/TV, Tb.Th, and Tb.N among the three columns of CJFH type L2 ONFH femoral head ( Conclusion: The middle and medial columns of the CJFH type L2 ONFH has better trabecular structures than the lateral column, and there is no significant difference in trabecular structures among the three columns of the CJFH type L3 ONFH.
