Radial Reconstruction With Fibular Free Flap Using CAD-CAM and Virtual Surgical Planning in Pediatric Pseudoarthrosis due to Neurofibromatosis Type 1: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Review in Microsurgery, 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
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder that causes skeletal dysplasia and congenital pseudoarthrosis of the forearm, which is very difficult to repair. The vascularized free fibular flap (FFF) is the standard treatment. CAD-CAM technologies and virtual surgical planning (VSP) offer greater precision and their full integration into primary pediatric reconstruction for NF1 is described. The objective of this case report is to present the simultaneous integration of all these tools in the primary reconstruction of a child with forearm pseudarthrosis due to NF1. We present the case of a 7-year-old boy with NF1 and radial pseudoarthrosis reconstructed using FFF, patient-specific CAD-CAM guides, and an interactive 3D VSP environment. A 3-cm defect was reconstructed using an FFF and a premolded LCP plate. Bone union was achieved at 7-8 months, with full range of motion in the wrist and nearly complete pronation-supination. No morbidity was reported in the donor site. This case reports the complete integration of FFF, CAD-CAM, and VSP in the primary reconstruction of a forearm pseudarthrosis in a child with NF1. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V Expert Opinion/Case Report.
