Complications following proximal femoral locking compression plating in unstable proximal femur fractures: medium-term follow-up.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2017. 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
purposeTo assess the outcome in patients treated with proximal femoral locking compression plate (PF-LCP 4.5/5.0, Synthes
methodsA retrospective analysis of 16 patients with proximal femur fractures (AO: 31A2: n = 5/32.3%; 31-A3: n = 10/62.5%; 32B1: n = 1/6.3%) treated with a PF-LCP at a Level 1 trauma centre between 2011 and 2015 was conducted.
resultsSixteen patients were available for follow-up with a mean follow-up time of 14 months (range 4-29). Primary outcome included fracture healing, post-operative complications and post-operative ambulatory status. Male to female ratio was 1:1. Mean age was 61 ± 17 years. Union was achieved in a mean of 13.5 ± 3 weeks (range 12-20 weeks). Five patients (31.3%) had implant-associated complications like non-union, malrotation, late implant-associated infection, distal screw fractures and post-traumatic impingement of the hip. Consequently, four patients (25%) had to undergo revision surgery. There was no reported case of secondary varus collapse or cut-out.
conclusionsComplications occurred in 31.3% (n = 5) in medium-term follow-up after PF-LCP in proximal unstable inter- and subtrochanteric femur fractures. These findings are supported by results of other groups. However, further studies to evaluate risk factors associated with failure of this implant are required.
