Hip geometry and femoral neck fractures: A meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of orthopaedic translation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
backgroundSeveral studies have reported hip geometry to predict the femoral neck fractures. However, they showed inconsistency.
objectivesTo determine the association between hip geometry and femoral neck fractures.
methodsPublished literature from PubMed and Embase databases (until May 25
resultsA total of 11 studies were included in this study. Our results showed that increase in hip axis length (OR 95% CI = 1.53 [1.06-2.21],
conclusionThere is strong evidence that elevated hip axis length, femoral neck angle and neck width are the risk factor for femoral neck fractures.
