Comparison of treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture with different arthroplasty methods.
Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundIntertrochanteric femur fractures are elderly is very common and can be treated by different fixation methods such as internal fixation and arthroplasty. In our study, we investigated the correlation between the hemiarthroplasty treatment method and functional results. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study consists of 121 patients with intertrochanteric fractures and these patients are divided into three groups. Eighty-five were male and 36 were female. Group I was uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty patients, Group II was cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty and Group III was cemented calcar preserving bipolar hemiarthroplasty. Mean follow-up period was 16 months. Harris hip score was used to evaluate functional outcome of the patients.
resultsThere were no significant differences between three groups when comparing the mortality rate in the 1(st) month and 1(st) year but all time mortality was proportionally lower in Group I comparing to the two other groups. There were no significant differences between three groups when comparing the functional results in 1(st) month and 1(st) year.
conclusionIn our study, uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty is a preferable treatment over the two other arthroplasty treatment model (cemented bipolar and calcar preserving) regarding to the mortality rate since there is no significant difference between. This conclusion needs further studies with greater number of patients.
