The Ilizarov Technique: A Dynamic Solution for Orthopaedic Challenges.
Review in Orthopaedic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 Ilizarov technique is one of the most important tools that is currently employed in bone reconstruction surgeries. Its inception dates back to the mid-20th century and involves various bone reconstruction methodologies implemented using a circular external fixator system devised by G. A. Ilizarov. The key advantages of this approach include the generation of viable new bone via distraction osteogenesis, high union rates, and the functional utilization of the limb during the treatment process. The exploration of distraction osteogenesis phenomenon triggered by tensile stress with the Ilizarov device served as a catalyst for progress in bone reconstruction surgery. Subsequently, the original technique has been utilized alongside several adaptations resulting from the introduction of novel fixation tools and methods of their application, such as hexapod external fixators and motorized intramedullary lengthening nails. It is crucial to possess a precise comprehension of the Ilizarov principles of deformity correction in order to effectively utilize this fixation system. In this article, we will discuss the history of Ilizarov frame, the basic sciences behind it, the mechanical principles governing its use, and the clinical application of the fixation system in our daily practice.
