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 induced membrane technique (IMT) is among the most innovative reconstructive methods for clavicle defects after fracture-related infection (FRI). Herein, we report a case in which a clavicle bone defect after FRI was reconstructed with an autogenous cancellous bone graft mixed with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) in the second stage of the IMT. A 62-year-old male patient with left clavicle fracture underwent open reduction and internal fixation. Refracture occurred immediately after the implant was removed. The patient was diagnosed with FRI after reopen reduction and internal fixation and was then referred to our hospital. The surgery was performed using the IMT. In the second stage of the IMT, the bone defect was filled with an autogenous cancellous bone mixed with wool-type β-TCP. At 8 months after surgery, the nonunion area had fused, and the patient had no restrictions in activities of daily living. The IMT with β-TCP can be a reconstructive method for bone defects after clavicular nonunion.
