Epidemiological Profile of Femoral Head Osteonecrosis in the North Indian Population.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
backgroundThere are limited studies on the epidemiology of femoral head osteonecrosis in Indian population. This study was designed to look for the risk factors of osteonecrosis hip and to assess the severity as per radiological staging (Association Research Circulation Osseous [ARCO]) and clinical score (Harris hip score [HHS]). MATERIALS AND
methods249 patients (382 hips) of osteonecrosis femoral head (ONFH) who were evaluated at our center between January 1, 2005, and June 30, 2013, were included in this retrospective study. The details of history, clinical examination, radiological grading, and HHS were entered into a proforma.
resultsThe mean age was 34.71 years (range 14-70 years) and 70.28% (
conclusionONFH in the North Indian patients is a disease of young individuals with male predominance. Steroid intake is most commonly observed in these patients followed by idiopathic, chronic alcohol consumption, and trauma.
