Extramedullary fixation of trochanteric hip fracture.

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
Extramedullary fixation with a sliding hip screw remains the treatment of choice for the majority of trochanteric hip fractures. Attention to surgical detail is far more important that the actual choice of implant. The fracture must be reduced to an anatomical or slight valgus position using the fracture table. Surgical exposure need not be excessive as most fractures can be reduced by closed means. The position of the lag screw is critical to achieve a central to inferior position on the anterior-posterior radiograph and a central position on the lateral view. A four-hole plate should suffice for most fractures. After surgery, weight bearing as able should be allowed. For fractures fixed correctly, wound or fracture healing complication should be rare, occurring in <5 % of cases.
