Huge Pseudoaneurysm of the Femoral Artery after Internal Fixation of Femoral Trochanteric Fracture.
Article in Case reports in orthopedics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Pseudoaneurysm is one of the most serious complications of femoral trochanteric fracture surgery. Since the rupture of pseudoaneurysm may lead to death, early detection is important. We report the case of an 80-year-old male who developed pain in the proximal thigh and severe swelling after internal fixation of a femoral trochanteric fracture with a hip nail. Angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of a branch of the deep femoral artery near the interlocking screw. The vascular lesion was immediately treated by transcatheter embolization, and the vascular leakage was completely resolved with catheter embolization. After embolization, the patient's clinical state improved rapidly, and the laboratory values improved to normal after several weeks. The current case study reminds us that pseudoaneurysm can occur after intramedullary nail placement to treat a femoral trochanteric fracture.
