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.

Abstract

objectiveUnstable femoral neck fractures are typically high-angled shear fractures caused by high-energy trauma. Internal fixation of femoral neck fractures with placement of parallel cannulated screws in an inverted triangle configuration is commonly performed in the clinical setting. This study was performed to investigate the primary results of intramedullary nailing with cannulated screws for the treatment of unstable femoral neck fractures in young and middle-aged patients.

methodsIn total, 96 consecutive patients with no history of hip surgery using inverted triangular cannulated compression screws or construction nails with cannulated screws were reviewed. Their demographic and radiological data were retrospectively collected from our institutional database.

resultsInverted cannulated screws had an excellent effect on decreasing the blood loss volume and incision size, but intramedullary nails exhibited superior advantages in decreasing screw exit and shortening the hospital stays. The Harris hip scores were comparable between the two groups.

conclusionsIntramedullary fixation with cannulated screws has advantages in treating complicated femoral neck fractures. Besides cannulated screws, intramedullary fixation with cannulated screws might be another method to treat unstable femoral neck fractures in young and middle-aged patients. The study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov. Unique Protocol ID: 11156458. The ClinicalTrial number is NCT03550079.
