Masquelet Technique Combined with Ilizarov External Fixator, Reamer-irrigator-aspirator, and Flap Transplantation in an Open Tibial Fracture: A Case Report.

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
Introduction: The induced membrane technique was initially described by Masquelet in 1986 as a treatment for tibia non-union. It then became an established method in the management of bone defects.A critical bone defect is defined by a gap larger than 25 mm, and so, has a higher probability of non-union. Many techniques have been described to resolve this problem such as segmental bone transport, free vascular fibula graft, non-vascular fibula graft, autogenous graft, or megaprothesis. Case Report: We present the case of a 37-year-old woman who presented a multi-fragmentary open fracture of the tibia and fibula bilaterally (Gustilo-Anderson III) after a high-velocity car accident. Conclusion: The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the use of a hybrid procedure combining the Masquelet technique with the Ilizarov external fixator and reamer-irrigator-aspirator can be an effective way to treat bone defect in an open tibial fracture classified as a Gustilo-Anderson III.
