1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Amputation medicine has evolved into a specialized, technology-driven discipline. With increasing global amputation rates, advanced surgical techniques, innovative prosthetic solutions and digital rehabilitation are gaining importance. Transcutaneous osseointegrated prosthetic systems (TOPS) can improve mobility, proprioception and quality of life but carry risks such as stomal infections or periprosthetic fractures. Neuroreconstructive procedures including targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), targeted sensory reinnervation (TSR), regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI), agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI) and nerve caps enable intuitive prosthesis control and reduce neuroma and phantom pain. Preoperative diagnostics and careful patient selection are essential. Guidelines emphasize structured rehabilitation and interdisciplinary follow-up. Virtual reality (VR) and extended reality (XR) procedures extend the treatment spectrum and support motor function and phantom pain reduction. Overall, this results in an integrated treatment concept with clear functional and psychosocial advantages.
