[The use of distraction osteogenesis for the reconstruction of bone defects following resection of malignant bone tumours].
Review in Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
The reconstruction of extensive bone defects following resection of malignant bone tumours is a challenge and is mainly influenced by tumour-related factors. In defect reconstructions using distraction osteogenesis isotropic, high-quality (new) bone is formed. For the reconstruction of bone defects and secondary limb length discrepancies following tumour resection, predominately three techniques have been described: bone transport, primary shortening and secondary lengthening, as well as "bio-expandable tumour endoprostheses". The use of distraction osteogenesis represents an excellent method for defect reconstruction and treatment of secondary limb length discrepancies following bone tumour resection. Due to the complex anatomical preconditions in tumour patients, a high degree of expertise in distraction osteogenesis (and tumour endoprostheses) is paramount. Therefore, treatment of these patients at highly specialised centres is recommended.
