Incidence and predisposing factors of periprosthetic proximal femoral fractures: a literature review.
Review in International orthopaedics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 95 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe purpose of this review article was to investigate the incidence and predisposing factors for periprosthetic proximal femoral fractures (PFF) following total hip arthroplasty.
methodsWe performed a comprehensive search of the medical literature in MEDLINE and EMBASE databases to review articles related to PFF, their incidence and risk factors. RESULTS AND
conclusionsThe incidence of PPF after primary THA was, in general, lower than after revision THA both for intra- and postoperative PFF. The rate of intraoperative PFF ranged from 0.1% to 27.8% and of postoperative PFF from 0.07% to 18%. Predisposing factors for intraoperative PFF are osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, femoral preparation and surgical technique used to insert the rasp or femoral component, the use of press-fit cementless stems, and revision THA. In case of postoperative PFF, the following seem to be significant risk factors: advanced age, female gender, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis, proximal femoral deformities, previous surgery of the affected hip, implant type (especially cementless stems and press-fit implantation), technical errors such as cortical perforation, cortical stress risers, low-energy trauma, osteolysis, loosening and revision THA.
