Short-interval total femur replacement for infected distal femoral reconstruction.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2026. 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
We present the case of a 61-year-old woman, initially treated for distal femoral osteosarcoma with a distal femur replacement (DFR) and multiple prior revisions, who presented with chronic infection of the DFR and catastrophic proximal femoral bone loss, representing a formidable reconstructive challenge. She underwent a novel short-interval two-stage revision consisting of proximal femur resection and placement of a custom antibiotic-loaded total femur spacer, followed 1 week later by definitive total femur replacement. Early follow-up demonstrated infection control and preservation of a functional limb. This case highlights the potential of an abbreviated two-stage approach for limb salvage in complex periprosthetic infections with extensive bone loss.
