A novel patient-specific 3D printed guide for accurate femoral derotation osteotomies: a case report.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2023. 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
Background: Femoral malrotation errors are prevalent after intramedullary (IM) nailing for femur fractures. Supposing fracture consolidation has occurred, only a derotation osteotomy can offer a solution to this complication, despite Case Description: A 32-year-old woman was referred to our clinic with ongoing right anterior groin pain. Three months earlier, she sustained a high energy fall resulting in a subtrochanteric femur fracture. This was treated with a long IM femoral nail (PFNA™, Synthes, Solothurn, Switzerland) elsewhere. Postoperatively, she developed a limping gait pattern with 'toeing-in' and persistent hip pain during walking. In supine position, a notable axial malalignment towards endo-rotation was visible as compared to the contralateral side. CT-scan showed a side to side difference of 36° anteversion. It was decided to perform a subtrochanteric femoral derotation osteotomy. Outcomes concerning restoration of painless gait and bony healing were successfully obtained at 4 months. Conclusions: The application of a 3D guide with uni-cortical K-wire placement for derotation osteotomies provides additional correction control during surgery and accurate outcome, while facilitating the flow of this technically demanding procedure.
