Treatment for Calcaneal Osteomyelitis with Pseudoarthrosis with a Vascularized Fibula Bone Graft and Autologous Cancellous Bone Graft: A Case Report.

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
Calcaneal osteomyelitis with pseudarthrosis after calcaneal fracture is rare, and its treatment is challenging. We describe the use of a free fibular osteocutaneous flap to treat a 52-year-old man who presented with calcaneal osteomyelitis and pseudarthrosis after an operation for a closed comminuted fracture. The patient was previously treated with multiple surgeries and antibiotics for 8 months, but he was not cured. We performed radical osteomyelitis bone debridement and reconstruction with a free fibular osteocutaneous flap and autotrabecular bone grafting from the iliac crest. The skin flap survived, and rehabilitation was initiated early. At 2 years postoperatively, his pain and ambulatory function had markedly improved, and he could walk without problems in daily life. Free fibular osteocutaneous flap and autogenous cancellous bone grafting are considered practical options for the treatment of calcaneal osteomyelitis with pseudarthrosis.
