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
backgroundBiological osteosynthesis preserves blood supply and promotes rapid healing by aligning fracture fragments without direct surgical exposure. Pedicle screws are primarily designed for internal fixation in spinal procedures. A key objective of many orthopedic studies is to assess the biocompatibility of implants with bone and adjacent soft tissue. This study aims to evaluate the biocompatibility and effects of the Pedicle screw-Rod configuration as a novel external fixation method in canine tibial osteotomy.
methodsWith ethics approval, eight healthy, intact male dogs, aged 10-12 months and weighing between 20 and 22 kg, underwent a minimally invasive medial tibial approach for surgical fixation of tibial osteotomy using a Pedicle screw-Rod configuration. Postoperative evaluations included ultrasound assessments at the osteotomy site and histological evaluations at the bone-screw interface.
resultsB-mode ultrasound evaluation indicated healing progress at all osteotomy sites. The color Doppler examination revealed an initial increase in signals in the surrounding soft tissue during the first 4 weeks post-operation, followed by a decrease in signals within the adjacent soft tissue between the 5th and 8th weeks. During this latter period, the signals were primarily concentrated on the bone surface and the callus. The bone-screw interface at various screw sites exhibited similar histological changes, indicating effective integration of the newly formed woven bone into the screw threads.
conclusionsFixation of non-articular tibial osteotomy with Pedicle screw-Rod configuration resulted in secondary bone healing, characterized by abundant callus formation and neovascularization. This implant demonstrated favorable biocompatibility with bone and surrounding soft tissue, without significant complications.
