Pseudoaneurysm after pertrochanteric femur fracture: a case report.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Vascular injury as a consequence of dislocated bone fragments after hip fractures is a rare complication. We report a case of a 78-year-old male who developed a pseudoaneurysm of the profunda femoris artery during rehabilitation after intramedullary fixation for a pertrochanteric hip fracture. As this procedure was minimally invasive, open reposition and fixation of the dislocated lesser trochanter were not performed. The pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed through duplex ultrasound and CT angiography and treated with thrombin injections and an endovascular Wallgraft covered stent. The imaging features are described in the article. Although a pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication after hip fractures, the development should be considered, in particular when symptoms such as pulsatile swelling or venous engorgement are presented.
