Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty in a Patient with above-knee Amputation: Surgical Technique.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
introductionFemoral neck fractures are a common occurrence in lower limb amputees. Good post-operative results of hip hemiarthroplasty have been described in below-knee amputees. However, to our knowledge, very few such cases have been reported in above-knee amputees. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 75-year-old male patient who underwent above-knee amputation of the right lower limb for severe crush injury right leg and a bipolar hemiarthroplasty for an ipsilateral fracture neck of femur sustained in the same road traffic accident. The treatment of neck of femur fracture in above-knee amputee patients is always a challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. We described the surgical technique in an attempt to overcome the challenges encountered in such a setting.
conclusionWhile performing a hemiarthroplasty in an above-knee amputee, we recommend the use of two perpendicularly placed Schanz pins distally in the subtrochanteric area for control and also as a guide for verifying the version during prosthesis placement.
