The Masquelet Technique: Is Bone Regeneration Influenced by Biological Sex?
Article in Strategies in trauma and limb reconstruction. 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
Purpose: Existing studies predominantly represent male patients, and no gender-specific analysis has been performed on treatment outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the influence of sex on the therapeutic outcomes of the Masquelet technique. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study included 58 women and 113 men treated with the Masquelet technique at the BG Klinikum Hamburg (BGKH) between July 2011 and June 2021. No sex-specific treatment protocols were employed at BGKH. The defect location and size, indication for the Masquelet technique, occurrence of complications and surgical revisions, microbial colonisation of the defect site, secondary stabilisation strategies, as well as the achievement and time to full weight-bearing were systematically assessed. Results: The analysis revealed no significant difference in the percentage of patients achieving full weight-bearing capacity between male and female cohorts ( Conclusion: Fundamental factors such as age, comorbidities, defect size, and defect localisation did not substantially differ between male and female patient cohorts in this study. Consequently, the results suggest that biological sex does not exert a discernible influence on the therapeutic outcomes of the Masquelet technique.
