1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a significant cause of both pain and disability that often affects young adults during what ought to be their most productive age. Two broad categories of ONFH exist: traumatic and non-traumatic. Traumatic ONFH results from acute mechanical disruption of the femoral head's blood supply. Many factors that increase the risk of non-traumatic osteonecrosis have been identified. Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is the most common form of non-traumatic ONFH. Many hypotheses as to the pathogenesis of SONFH have been proposed, including intravascular thrombosis, abnormal fat metabolism, intramedullary adipocyte hypertrophy, and osteoporosis; however, the exact mechanism of SONFH is still not clearly understood. Animal models using rats, mice, rabbits, chickens, pigs, and emus have been used to study SONFH. Unfortunately, these models each have limitations. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a reproducible model that better simulates human disease. The present review is intended to summarize the currently available models, evaluative indicators, and application of current understanding to both the prevention and treatment of SONFH.
