Effect of transported segment size on the new bone formation of the rabbit femur in the Ilizarov bone transport method.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to compare histological and radiological union in the bone transport of 3 segments of different sizes to reconstruct the rabbit femur's bone defects.
methodsThirty rabbits were divided into 3 groups; a 1-cm defect was created in the femur in all rabbits. The length of the segment to be transferred was 10% of the femur length in group 1, 15% in group 2, and 20% in group 3. All defects were reconstructed by applying bone transport. At the end of the consolidation period, the distraction zone was compared radiologically and histologically.
resultsWhile there was no radiological difference between the groups, the highest histological scores were obtained from group 3. Osteocalcin staining revealed similar involvement in groups 2 and 3, butless involvement in group 1.
conclusionEvidence from this study has shown that as the size of the segment used for bone transport increases, more stable fixation and better histological union tissue can be obtained in the rabbit femoral defect model.
