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

backgroundFibrous dysplasia of bone (FD) is a rare skeletal disorder. Traditional surgical options may have disadvantages such as greater trauma, incomplete curettage and recurrence risk. In this report, we introduce the technique for the treatment of fibrous dysplasia of the femur with Arthroscopic-assisted uni-portal non-coaxial endoscopic surgery (AUNES) and evaluate its feasibility. CASE PRESENTATION: We described a 49-year-old female patient with an elliptical lesion measuring approximately 4.3 cm × 4.2 cm in the proximal left femur. Due to the limitations of traditional open surgery-significant trauma, incomplete curettage, and a high risk of recurrence-we performed tumor curettage and bone graft fusion with AUNES assistance for the first time. The AUNES endoscopy provided a clear surgical field, precise lesion boundaries, thorough curettage, and minimal blood loss. Postoperative pathology confirmed fibrous dysplasia. At the 1-month and 3-month postoperative follow-ups, the patient's surgical wound healed well without complications. DR and CT scans showed satisfactory graft placement and bone fusion.

conclusionThis case report demonstrates that AUNES-assisted tumor lesion curettage and bone grafting fusion surgery for FD is safe and feasible. It offers several advantages, including minimal invasiveness, a wide surgical field, thorough lesion curettage, and a low postoperative recurrence rate.
