Comparison of Cortical Bone Fracture Patterns Under Compression Loading Using Finite Element-Discrete Element Numerical Modeling Approach and Destructive Testing.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Finite element analysis may not be the only method by which bone fracture initiation and propagation may be analyzed. This study compares fracture patterns generated from compression testing of bone to fracture patterns generated using a combination of both the finite element method (FEM) and discrete element method (DEM) as defined by the finite discrete element method (FDEM). Before testing, a three-dimensional bone model was developed using CT. Force and displacement data were collected during testing. The tested specimen was reimaged using CT. The solid model was discretized and material properties adjusted such that finite element-discrete element macro behavior matched the force-displacement data. A qualitative comparison of the fracture patterns demonstrates that FDEM can successfully be used to simulate and predict fracturing in bone, with this study representing the first time this has been done and reported.
