Knee Arthodesis , as a salvage procedure for Non-union of floating knee after ilizarov fixation-A case report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. 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
Introduction: The Ilizarov technique is a widely used method for managing complex fractures, especially those involving periarticular regions such as the distal femur and proximal tibia. Ilizarov is a versatile process which can also be used for limb lengthening, deformity correction and for septic and aseptic non-unions. Case Report: We present the case of 48-year-old male with non-union of proximal tibia and distal femur fracture with Ilizarov in situ. A floating knee on the right side was unsuitable for open reduction and internal fixation due to poor skin health. Ilizarov fixation was planned for the patient. This instance demonstrates the difficulties associated with floating knee. The technique's limits in treating specific periarticular fractures are highlighted by the Ilizarov fixation's failure in this instance. Conclusion: An efficient salvage technique that provides permanent pain relief and functional stability is knee arthrodesis. The need of customized treatment planning in handling complicated fracture situations is highlighted by this example.
