Ilizarov Ring Fixator in the Lower Limb for 2000 Days: A Case Report.
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.
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
Ring external fixators developed by Gavriil Abramovich Ilizarov from Russia are used to treat the difficult cases of infected non-union, shortening of limbs by bone lengthening, and deformity correction in joints and bones in isolation or in combination. Fixation of the involved bone with the ring is commonly achieved using four rings, each having two Ilizarov wires that are passed along the superior surface of the ring, then across the bone, and exiting out on the opposite side touching the surface of the ring. The case report herein reports a patient who kept the ring fixator on his thigh without any problem for a long period of five and a half years. The case is being reported due to the abnormally long period of ring fixator application without any complications and the excellent result achieved in terms of union and infection control.
