Analysis of complications of intertrochanteric fracture treated with Gamma 3 intramedullary nail.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
unlabelledWhether Gamma 3 fixation system is suitable for all intertrochanteric fractures is inconclusive. This paper analyzed the surgical complications of Gamma 3 intramedullary nail in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures.
methodsA total of 186 cases were enrolled in the study including 115 males and 71 females. The surgical operations were performed in all cases and Gamma 3 intramedullary nail was inserted in medullary cavity.
resultsAnti-rotation screw displacement into the intermuscular space of inner thigh occurred in 1 case, lateral femoral wall defect in 3 cases; refracture of proximal femur shaft during the Gamma 3 nail inserting into the medullary cavity occurred in 5 cases and fractures with a gap or malalignment in closed reduction of A3 type in occurred 6 cases. Fracture union occurred in 3-4 months postoperative. Recovery situations of all patients were evaluated based on Harris scoring system 6 with an average of 87 points. There are indications and shortcomings in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture with Gamma 3 intramedullary nail.
conclusionUnderstanding the surgical indications, standardizing the operation and upgrading skills are the key points to ensure operation successful, reduce complications and improve clinical outcomes.
