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

Although bone transport by means of distraction osteogenesis has become the standard of care for massive segmental bone defects, the technique faces limitations such as the lengthy period of time during which patients must wear an external fixator. Thus, other techniques may be more appropriate in certain circumstances. Capanna developed a combination of vascularized fibular grafts and strut allografts in a way that the strut allograft provides with significant initial mechanical stability, which facilitates incorporation of a vascularized fibular graft and promotes long-term survival of the reconstruction. The case presented in this report is the first in the medical literature where a circular external fixator is used as a stabilization method in a patient with a structural bone deficiency treated by means of the Capanna technique. It is also one of the few reported cases where the underlying condition does not originate in a tumor and where the joint is involved.
