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

Orthoplastic surgery is a multidisciplinary approach that is well-studied for extremity trauma, but not for musculoskeletal oncologic reconstruction. Here, the authors describe the application of a collaborative orthoplastic approach for the management of primary musculoskeletal neoplasms and evaluate its impact. The collaboration protocol, implemented in July 2019, comprises specific checkpoints of interdisciplinary co-management, which span the pre-, intra-, and postoperative treatment period. This involves direct communication between attending surgeons and their respective clinical teams. Patients who underwent resection of a primary musculoskeletal neoplasm between March 2014 and April 2022 were retrospectively categorized into conventional or collaboration groups. Of the 136 total patients, there were 63.2% (n = 86) conventional and 36.8% (n = 50) collaboration; 31.6% (n = 43) had reconstruction and 68.4% (n = 93) did not. Compared with the conventional group, the collaboration group had significantly higher rates of diabetes (18% versus 7%,
