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

backgroundExtracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is increasingly being recognized as an advantageous alternative for treating non-union due to its efficacy and minimal associated complications. Non-union following Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is particularly challenging, with a reported 55% delayed union and 8% non-union. Herein, we highlight a unique case of ischial non-union post-PAO treated successfully with a structured ESWT regimen. CASE SUMMARY: A 50-year-old patient, diagnosed with left ischial non-union following the PAO, underwent six cycles of ESWT treatment across ten months. Each cycle, spaced four weeks apart, consisted of five consecutive ESWT sessions without anesthesia. Regular X-ray follow-ups showed progressive disappearance of the fracture line and fracture union. The patient ultimately achieved a satisfactory asymptomatic recovery and bone union.

conclusionThe results from this case suggest that this ESWT regimen can be a promising non-invasive treatment strategy for non-union following PAO.
