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

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and short-term effectiveness of polyaxial locking plate for fixation of femoral neck fracture in the middle-aged and elderly patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 13 patients with femoral neck fracture undergoing fixation with polyaxial locking plates between September 2013 and June 2015 (group A) and 13 patients with femoral neck fracture undergoing fixation with three cannulated screws in the same period (group B). There was no significant difference in gender, age, side, cause of injury, Garden type, type of fracture position, type of Pauwels angle, Singh index, time between injury and operation, and preoperative complications between 2 groups ( Results: The follow-up time was (19.23±3.98) months in group A and (18.00±3.61) months in group B, showing no significant difference between 2 groups ( Conclusion: Although fixation with polyaxial locking plate for femoral neck fracture in the middle-aged and elderly patients has similar femoral head necrosis rate to fixation with cannulated screws, it has advantages in preventing neck shortening and improving hip joint function after operation.
