1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 use of customized 3D-printed structures has been gaining popularity in non-union management, as it allows for bypassing the defect while promoting osseointegration. Additionally, porous titanium implants minimize stress shielding due to their stiffness and elastic modulus being closer to that of bone. The interconnected channels increase the surface area and provide space for cell adhesion and proliferation. This study presents the case of a 62-year-old female patient with concomitant knee osteoarthritis recalcitrant aseptic atrophic nonunion in the tibial proximal metaphysis. Due to the small distance between the nonunion site and the joint line, nonunion treatment had to be included in the treatment plan, as it would result in a lack of mechanical stability of the tibial component, and techniques such as plating were not an option. A customized 3D-printed porous titanium cone was used to bypass the fracture site and support the stem used with the CCK prosthesis, allowing for simultaneous nonunion and osteoarthritis management.
