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 The objective of this study was to compare and evaluate the oncological and functional outcomes of 2 surgical treatments: extended curettage with plate fixation (EC-PF) and extended curettage with intramedullary nail fixation (EC-INF) for primary giant cell tumor (GCT) of the proximal femur. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a retrospective study, we reviewed 19 patients with Campanacci grade II and International Society of Limb Salvage zone H2 GCT of the proximal femur. All patients underwent either EC-PF (n=11) or EC-INF (n=8) surgery. The Mankin scoring system was used to evaluate the surgical effect, and the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score was used to evaluate the limb salvage function of the patients. The between-group differences were analyzed at the end of follow-up. RESULTS During the follow-up period, there were no cases of recurrence or metastasis in both groups, and the EC-INF group had a higher rate of nononcological complications than the EC-PF group (62.5% vs 9.1%, respectively). Bone graft resorption and atrophy was the most frequent nononcological complication in the EC-INF group. According to the Mankin scoring system, the degree of hip joint function recovery in the EC-PF group was higher than that in the EC-INF group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the EC-PF group had shorter hospital stays and higher Musculoskeletal Tumor Society scores (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Due to the high incidence of nononcological complications associated with intramedullary nailing as a method of internal fixation following extended curettage of the proximal femur GCT, this approach is generally not recommended.
