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

objectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of repairing bone defects caused by benign bone tumors using allograft bone combined with calcium phosphate bone powder.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 55 patients (aged 10-61 years, mean 35 ± 13.2) with benign bone tumors treated at our hospital from June 2020 to December 2022. The bone defects in these cases were created after surgical curettage of the tumor lesions, which included common benign tumors such as osteochondroma, giant cell tumor of bone, and enchondroma. Patients were divided into two groups based on bone graft materials: a simple allograft bone group (n = 30) and a combined group using allograft bone with calcium phosphate bone powder (n = 25). Preoperative data, surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, imaging findings, limb function, and quality of life (KPS scores) were analyzed.

resultsAll 55 patients were followed for 12-30 months (mean 13.45 ± 5.18). All incisions healed by primary intention without complications such as graft nonunion, fractures, or tumor recurrence. The combined group showed a significantly shorter healing time (t = 4.280, P < 0.05) and higher KPS scores at 6 months postoperatively (X

conclusionAllograft bone combined with calcium phosphate bone powder is superior to allograft bone alone for repairing bone defects following curettage of benign bone tumors, promoting faster healing and better postoperative functional recovery.
