Closed Cephalomedullary Nailing with Patient in Lateral Decubitus Position for Repair of Peritrochanteric Femoral Fracture.

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
introductionClosed repair of peritrochanteric fractures with cephalomedullary nail fixation with the patient in the lateral decubitus position on a flat table with manual traction may allow improved fracture reduction and fixation in comparison with what is possible in a supine setup. INDICATIONS & CONTRAINDICATIONS: STEP 1 OPERATING ROOM PREPARATION: Perform sterile preparation, have the patient brought to the operating room, induce anesthesia, and place the patient in the lateral decubitus position before sterile draping. STEP 2 FRACTURE REDUCTION: Reduce the fracture using manual traction and slight internal or external rotation; confirm anatomic reduction radiographically. STEP 3 NAIL INSERTION: Determine the appropriate nail length, identify the nail entry point, open the femoral canal, insert a ball-tipped guide into the canal, insert the nail, and attach the aiming arm to the nail. STEP 4 INSERTION OF CEPHALIC LAG SCREW: Attach the aiming arm to the insertion handle, pass a guidewire, drill over the guidewire to open the lateral cortex, and insert the cannulated screw with soft hammer blows. STEP 5 INSERTION OF DISTAL INTERLOCKING SCREW: Confirm fracture reduction on anteroposterior and lateral views, drill through the lateral cortex of the femur for the distal interlocking screw, measure the screw length, insert the screw, and remove the aiming arm if one was used. STEP 6 FINAL RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING: Obtain anteroposterior and lateral views to confirm maintenance of fracture reduction and appropriate placement and length of the nail and cephalic and distal locking screws. STEP 7 WOUND CLOSURE: Irrigate and close the wounds, and apply operative dressings.
resultsIntramedullary device technology has been altered to address the complication of periprosthetic fracture at the distal tip that made earlier intramedullary fixation less appealing compared with extramedullary fixation for stable fracture patterns. PITFALLS & CHALLENGES:
