Fragility fractures of the proximal femur: review and update for radiologists.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Proximal femoral fragility fractures are common and result in significant morbidity and mortality along with a considerable socioeconomic burden. The goals of this article are to review relevant proximal femoral anatomy together with imaging, classification, and management of proximal femoral fragility fractures, and their most common complications. Imaging plays an integral role in classification, management and follow-up of proximal femoral fragility fractures. Classification of proximal femoral fragility fractures is primarily based on anteroposterior hip radiographs. Pertinent imaging features for each category of proximal femoral fractures that would guide management are: differentiating nondisplaced from displaced femoral neck fractures, distinguishing stable from unstable intertrochanteric fractures, and determining the morphology and comminution of subtrochanteric fractures. Treatment of proximal femoral fragility fractures is primarily surgical with either arthroplasty or internal fixation. Intramedullary nailing is used in the treatment of some types of proximal femoral fragility fractures and may be associated with unique complications that become evident on postoperative follow-up radiographs.
