Surgical treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta: a summary of the incidence of femoral implant-related complications in children with Sillence type I, III and IV.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThis study explored the incidence of IRCs used in the procedures of the femur in children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and investigated the independent risk factors of IRCs.
methodsThree hundred eight-eight cases of surgical data about children with OI were included, who were treated with plate, elastic nail, Kirschner wire and telescopic rod. The choice of different procedures depended on the age of children, the status of femur and the availability of devices. Patient demographics and major IRCs were recorded to compare the outcomes of the four procedures. Then, Cox proportional hazard regression was used to analyse the independent risk factors of IRC, and subgroup analysis was applied to further verify the above results.
resultsThe total incidence of IRC in the four groups was 90.1% (191/212) for plate, 96.8% (30/31) for Kirschner wire, 87.7% (57/65) for elastic nail and 30.0% (24/80) for telescopic rod. The incidence of IRC in the telescopic rod was lower than that in plate, elastic nail and Kirschner wire (P < 0.001). Cox proportional hazard regression analysis confirmed that procedure was the independent risk factor of IRC (HR, 0.191; 95% CI, 0.126-0.288; P < 0.001), fracture (HR, 0.193; 95% CI, 0.109-0.344; P < 0.001) and deformity (HR, 0.086; 95% CI, 0.027-0.272; P < 0.001). In addition, age of surgery was the independent risk factor of fracture (HR, 0.916; 95% CI, 0.882-0.952; P < 0.001) and deformity (HR, 1.052; 95% CI, 1.008-1.098; P = 0.019). Subgroup analysis confirmed that age of surgery, gender, classification, preoperative state and angle did not affect the effect of telescopic rod on reducing the risk of IRCs.
conclusionsIn our cohort, lower incidence of IRCs was observed in telescopic rod group compared with plate, Kirschner wire and elastic nail. Procedure and age of surgery were independent risk factors of fracture. Likewise, procedure and age of surgery were independent risk factors of deformity, and procedure was independent risk factors of IRC.
