A novel technique for the fixation of inter-trochantieric hip fractures: A telescoping lag screw.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
One-hundred and three patients with intertrochanteric hip fractures as classified by the OTA 2007 system underwent fixation using the telescoping AOS Galileo lag screw system and ES Nail (a long IM nail). Thirty-one patients (76%) were female and ten (24%) were male, with an average age of 75.70 ± 11.3 years at date of surgery. At final follow-up 21 (53%) patients returned to their pre-fracture ambulatory status, 20 (47%) had a reduction in ambulatory status, and no patients were confined to a wheel chair. The telescoping capability of the AOS Galileo lag screw allowed for a decrease in total length by 3.96 ± 3.04 mm during fracture healing. The TAD distance at final follow-up was 14.09 ± 4.69 mm. Lateral protrusion of the lag screw into soft tissue did not occur. There was one reported incidence of femoral head cutout, which occurred after the lag screw had telescoped its entire distance and began functioning as a rigid non-compressible lag screw. All other fractures healed uneventfully and no device failure occurred. The AOS Galileo telescoping lag screw has shown promise concerning IT fracture fixation and will continue to undergo further investigation.
