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

We present a case, 82-year-old woman, sustaining intertrochanteric fracture treated with proximal femoral nail. Up to 14 months postoperatively, everything went on seamlessly. Then, there was a rapid onset of worsening of the functional capacity. She came to outpatient clinic by using wheelchair. Plain X-rays revealed a femoral neck fracture on the operative side with no history of trauma. Laboratory studies showed no significant abnormalities but vitamin D [25 (OH) D] level was 14.82 ng/ml. X-ray survey of skeletal system was not indicative of osteomalacia. We performed total hip replacement instead of internal fixation due to patient's age. Vitamin D replacement therapy was launched. Three months later, she was totally satisfactory with clinical result and 25 (OH) D level increased to 53.68 ng/ml. At the last visit, the patient was pain free and active in all her recreational activities.
