OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF DISTAL ULNA AFTER GIANT CELL TUMOUR RESECTION.
Article in Acta clinica Croatica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a rare, benign tumour, but it has a locally aggressive nature and a high rate of recurrence. A wide en-bloc resection of the distal part of the ulna, with or without stabilisation of the ulnar stump, is the recommended treatment option. Functional results after that kind of surgery are mostly satisfying but, in some cases, it can result in wrist instability, causing pain and weakness of grip strength. That is why when it comes to young people, with high functional demands, we prefer reconstruction of distal ulna and distal radioulnar joint after an en-bloc resection of the distal ulna. The distal ulna is reconstructed with an autologous free fibular graft and the distal radioulnar joint is stabilised with an autologous palmaris longus tendon graft. We present our operative technique and good functional results of three young patients treated with this procedure. Our results confirm the hypothesis that the reconstruction of the distal ulna and the distal radioulnar joint leads to a satisfactory functional result in young and active patients with higher functional demands.
