1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Several studies have investigated the anatomical adaptations in amputation stumps. In this study, we present a case report of a patient who underwent an above-the-knee amputation and, over the course of time, the length of the residual bone spontaneously shortened. The patient had undergone a total hip replacement in the same leg, and the cement mantle of the hip replacement, which could be seen within the medullary canal in the early postoperative X-rays, protruded due to bone resorption one year after the amputation
