Erythropoietin as promoter of engraftment for treatment of radius/ulnar non-union fracture in a dog: Case report.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Fractures with large bone defects and non-unions are a great challenge for veterinary orthopaedists. In small dog breeds, this complication is commonly encountered in fractures of the radius and ulna due to poorer vascularisation of the distal antebrachium region. Case Description: A case of radius/ulnar non-union in a 1.5-year-old Pinscher occurring after trauma and two successive unsuccessful osteosyntheses is described. During the operative revision, after the removal of existing bone implants, the bone defect was filled with cortical autologous bone graft. Autocancellous bone mixed with erythropoietin was applied proximally and distally to the cortical autograft for stimulation of bone healing. The post-operative period was without complications. As early as the 9th post-operative week, the animal was able to bear weight on the limb, without signs of lameness, pain, and swelling. Radiologically, a very good bridging of the graft was observed. Fifteen weeks after the operative revision, the fracture was completely healed with excellent clinical outcome. Conclusion: The application of autogenous cortical bone graft and cancellous autograft mixed with erythropoietin demonstrated an excellent therapeutic effect and resulted in complete regeneration of the large bone defect over a 15-week period.
