Osseointegration for Lower-Extremity Amputees: Operative Considerations from the Plastic Surgeon's Perspective.
Article in JBJS reviews, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
➢: Osseointegration for lower-extremity amputees, while increasing in frequency, remains in its relative infancy compared with traditional socket-based prostheses. ➢: Ideal candidates for osseointegration have documented failure of a traditional prosthesis and should be skeletally mature, have adequate bone stock, demonstrate an ability to adhere to a longitudinal rehabilitation protocol, and be in an otherwise good state of health. ➢: Lowering the reoperation rate for soft-tissue complications depends heavily on surgical technique and on the implant device itself; the current gold standard involves a smooth implant surface for dermal contact as well as maximal skin resection to prevent skin breakdown against the prosthesis. This may include the need for thighplasty to optimize skin reduction. ➢: Interdisciplinary peripheral nerve management, such as targeted muscle reinnervation, performed in tandem with a plastic surgery team can treat existing and prevent future symptomatic neuromas, ultimately improving pain outcomes.
