1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of bone transport using the Taylor spatial frame (TSF) versus the Ilizarov circular frame (ICF) in the treatment of long-segment tibial bone defects. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 44 patients with large-segment tibial bone defects who met the selection criteria and received surgical treatment between January 2011 and December 2024. The patients were divided into the TSF group (25 cases) and the ICF group (19 cases) according to different external fixation methods. There was no significant difference in baseline data including gender, age, bone defect length, defect etiology, and number of previous operations between the two groups ( Results: All patients in both groups successfully completed the operation. The TSF group had a significantly shorter operation time than the ICF group ( Conclusion: Both TSF and ICF bone transport techniques can effectively repair large-segment tibial bone defects and achieve reliable bone healing and limb functional recovery. Compared with ICF, TSF has the advantages of shorter operation time, higher postoperative three-dimensional orthopedic accuracy, and better recovery of limb alignment.
