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: A debilitating side effect of comminuted elbow or forearm fractures and their surgical treatment is proximal radioulnar synostosis (PRUS), which is defined by heterotopic bone bridging between the radius and ulna and nearly total loss of forearm rotation. The standard treatment for established PRUS is surgical removal of the synostotic mass; nevertheless, unless a long-lasting interposition barrier is employed, recurrence persists as a threat. Autologous tensor fascia lata (TFL) grafting has been shown to restore rotation with minimal donor-site morbidity and serves as a biologic interposition. Aim: Excision with TFL interposition for post-traumatic PRUS following proximal ulna plating: a comprehensive, critically updated review and original cohort experience with a focus on technique, functional results, recurrence, graft integration, heterotopic ossification (HO) prophylaxis, and rehabilitation plan. Materials and Methods: This retrospective observational study examined a consecutive cohort treated between 2017 and 2024, demonstrating radiologic graft integration, low donor-site morbidity, uncommon recurrence, significant improvement in pronation-supination and functional scores, and confirming - consistent with larger series - the effectiveness of TFL interposition when combined with complete extraperiosteal excision, circumferential graft fixation, early controlled mobilization, and targeted HO prophylaxis. Conclusion: Following proximal ulna fixation, excision combined with autologous TFL interposition is a dependable method of restoring rotation following PRUS. The establishment of standardized scheduling, graft selection, and preventive regimens requires multicenter prospective trials with prolonged follow-up.
