A Novel Surgical Technique for the Management of Large-Volume Neurogenic Heterotopic Ossification Following a Spinal Cord Injury: The Sashimi Technique.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This case series investigates the efficacy of the "sashimi technique," a novel surgical approach utilizing a curved chisel for the resection of heterotopic ossification (HO). The main focus is on reducing resection margins and preventing excessive bone removal while maintaining optimal functional outcomes and preventing recurrence. Two cases illustrate successful outcomes in patients with spinal cord injuries and severe HO of the hip, emphasizing the precision of using the curved chisel-based technique in improving patient mobility while still achieving a desired resection margin. The study highlights the effectiveness of using a curved chisel in protecting neurovascular structures and maintaining resection precision. Additionally, the integration of postoperative radiotherapy and pharmacological treatment is emphasized as a strategy to prevent recurrence. The goal of this procedure is to improve functional outcomes and patient quality of life.
