Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: The objective of this study was to compare the biomechanical stability of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) orthopedic cable system to stainless steel cerclage wire (SSW) fixation in cyclic four-point bending in a cadaveric fracture model. Materials and methods: A long oblique osteotomy model was employed using paired canine cadaveric femurs. The osteotomies were stabilized with either three UHMWPE cables ( Results: There was no statistically significant difference in any of the outcomes tested between constructs. Visible loosening was noted in all loop cerclage constructs. No visible loosening of the UHMWPE cable was noted. Discussion: The results suggest that the UHMWPE cable's resistance to failure was comparable to SSW in four-point bending. Additional biomechanical testing would be needed to assess for statistical significance as well as performance in torsion and compression or with adjunctive fixation methods. Future clinical studies in veterinary applications are needed to assess how the UHMWPE cable performs
