Trochlear ridge reconstruction using a patient-specific three-dimensionally printed titanium implant in a dog with severe unilateral trochlear deformity and complex femoral deformity: a long-term follow-up case report.

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
A 4-year-old spayed female beagle presented with intermittent lameness and external rotation of the left hind limb after distal femoral fracture repair. Imaging revealed severe lateral trochlear deformity with complex deformities of the left femur. Trochlear ridge reconstruction and corrective osteotomy were performed using patient-specific titanium trochlear ridge implant and 3D-printed surgical guides. Postoperative images confirmed the proper femoral alignment and patellar positioning. The lameness resolved, and full weight-bearing was achieved within two months. Normal limb function was maintained for 24 months without implant failure or recurrence. At the 36-month telephone follow-up, the owner reported sustained improvement in limb function and quality of life. This case demonstrates successful long-term outcomes of trochlear ridge reconstruction using a patient-specific 3D-printed titanium implant.
