Dynamic hip screw versus proximal femur locking compression plate in intertrochanteric femur fractures (AO 31A1 and 31A2): A prospective randomized study.
Article in Journal of natural science, biology, and medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05286905 (Biomechanical Testing, Finite Element Analysis and Pilot, Prospective, Randomized, Experimental Clinical Study of Osteosynthesis of Reverse Oblique Peritrochanteric Fractures With PFLP vs Cephalomedullary Nail.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
introductionIntertrochanteric fractures are common in elderly population and pose a significant financial burden to the society. Anatomically contoured proximal femur locking compression plate (PFLCP) is the latest addition in the surgeons' armamentarium to deal with these fractures. It creates an angular stable construct, which will theoretically lessen the risk of failure by screw cut-out and varus collapse, the common mode of DHS failure. We compared DHS with PFLCP in AO type 31A1 and 31A2 intertrochanteric fractures. MATERIALS AND
methodsA randomized prospective study was carried out between June 2011 and June 2013. 26 cases each of DHS and PFLCP were included.
resultsFunctional and radiological outcome was similar in both groups.
conclusionBoth DHS and PFLCP are good choices for stable intertrochanteric fractures, and both lead to excellent functional outcomes, but non-union might be more common with PFLCP.
