Review in Unfallchirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
The treatment of leg length discrepancies, bone defects and deformities is highly complex. Distraction osteogenesis (callus distraction) is often used for this purpose. Nowadays, the previously used external fixators have increasingly been replaced by intramedullary, fully implantable motorized systems. These are used in combination with innovative planning methods and minimally invasive surgical techniques. This enables reliable and safe treatment with improved patient comfort. In contrast to external fixation, particularly modern external hexapod systems, intramedullary devices once implanted fix the bone fragments in both axial alignment and rotation. Thus, meticulous analysis and planning as well as exact intraoperative execution, are essential for successful treatment outcomes. This article summarizes the relevant intramedullary techniques and indications as well as the practical implementation, taking the current published evidence into account.
