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
Distal phalangeal nonunion is a rare but challenging condition that may result from crush injuries or inadequate stabilization. Surgical fixation is often difficult because of the small size of the fragment and surrounding soft tissue damage. We report two cases of symptomatic distal phalanx nonunion successfully treated with autologous bone peg grafting. The first case involved a 13-year-old boy who developed nonunion following a bicycle injury. The second case involved a 31-year-old man who sustained an open fracture in a workplace accident. In both cases, a cortical bone peg harvested from the posterior aspect of the ipsilateral proximal ulna was inserted into the medullary canal of the distal phalanx to provide mechanical stability and promote bone healing. Radiographic union was achieved within 3 months, and both patients returned to full activity, with one experiencing minor residual symptoms.
