Treatment of Supracondylar Femur Fractures in Cats with EFECE System.
Article in Veterinary medicine and science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundDistal supracondylar femur fractures are common orthopaedic injuries in cats, requiring stable fixation for optimal healing. Traditional fixation methods have limitations, leading to the exploration of alternative techniques. The EFECE system, a novel fracture fixation method, aims to provide effective stabilization while minimizing complications.
objectivesThis study evaluates the clinical and radiological outcomes of distal supracondylar femur fracture treatment in cats using the EFECE system.
methodsEight cats diagnosed with distal supracondylar femur fractures were included. All cases were closed fractures treated using a limited open reduction technique followed by fixation with the EFECE system. Fracture healing time and complication rates were assessed through clinical and radiographic evaluations.
resultsAll fractures achieved complete healing, with no major complications observed. The mean healing time was 42.8 days (range: 35-56 days). Minor complications were observed in three out of the eight cats included in the study. Weight-bearing, behaviour and radiographic findings confirmed effective stabilization and compression of the fracture line using the EFECE system.
conclusionsThe EFECE system provides a reliable and minimally invasive option for treating distal supracondylar femur fractures in cats, ensuring stable fixation and favourable clinical outcomes. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to validate these findings.
