Traumatic Humeral Shaft Non-union With Ulnar Nerve Transection: An Orthobiologics Success Story.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Long bone non-union is a detrimental, yet common condition that affects many individuals after injury. It can lead to significant pain and weakness that may impact lifetime productivity and quality of life. This report describes a patient who suffered from greater than two years of a distal humerus fracture non-union along with an ulnar nerve transection that failed traditional surgical management and underwent a percutaneous injection with bone marrow aspirate concentrate, platelet-rich plasma, and platelet lysate, demonstrating subsequent fracture resolution and strength improvement.
