Atypical femoral fractures in association with bisphosphonate therapy: a case series.
Article in Emergency radiology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Well-established clinically as frontline therapy in the management of osteoporosis, bisphosphonates have been shown in numerous trials to be highly effective in reducing the risk of both vertebral and hip fractures. More recently, however, in a multitude of exhaustive case reviews, attention has been raised to the small but by now well-established link between prolonged bisphosphonate usage and the risk for atypical subtrochanteric femoral stress fractures. We present herein a trio of illustrative cases highlighting both clinical presentation and characteristic radiological findings thereof, as well as a discussion of the background, management, and natural history of these oftentimes problematic injuries.
