Reconstruction of a tibial diaphyseal bone defect using the Masquelet technique. A case report.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Segmental bone defects in the lower limb may be treated by distraction osteogenesis, vascularized bone grafts, allografts, metal prostheses or amputation. The induced membrane technique, introduced by Masquelet, consists in induction of a pseudo-synovial membrane by local tissue reaction to a synthetic spacer, followed by application of bone allograft to the resulting cavity. This article describes the case of a 34-year-old male with severe multiple trauma. The patient's injuries included a Gustillo-Anderson type IIIa open tibial shaft fracture, treated by means of the fix and flap technique. Application of the fix and flap technique resulted in a 7 cm bone defect that was filled using the induced membrane technique. This case report includes a review of the existing literature and a description of the modifications that have been proposed to the original Masquelet technique, including the use of antibiotic-impregnated cement, extension of the interval between the two surgical stages, and the use of alternative osteosynthesis materials.
