Intramedullary Wire-Guided Bone Transport of the Ulna: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Diaphyseal bone defects of the forearm may arise from high-energy trauma, the surgical excision of devitalised or contaminated bone in open fractures, tumour resection, or extensive debridement for infected non-unions. These defects pose a considerable challenge in trauma and orthopaedic surgery due to the complexity of restoring limb function and structural integrity. Distraction osteogenesis, particularly via the Ilizarov technique, has become a preferred method among orthopaedic surgeons, owing to its advantages, including preservation of soft tissue, reduced infection risk, and the ability to maintain joint mobility during treatment. This case report demonstrates the successful application of the bone transport technique via distraction osteogenesis using a mini limb reconstruction system (LRS) external fixator in the management of an open diaphyseal forearm fracture with bone loss, resulting in favourable radiological bone healing and excellent functional recovery.
