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.

2 · The registry

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

Isolated fractures of the lesser trochanter are very rare injuries. This case report describes the age-related differences based on two cases. A 13-year-old girl suffered an avulsion fracture of the lesser trochanter while sprinting. The patient received conservative treatment with pain-adapted partial weight bearing as tolerated using crutches with the goal of full weight bearing after 6 weeks. After 3 months she could return to the preinjury functional level without impairments. A 55-year-old woman also suffered an isolated fracture of the lesser trochanter, which was a pathological fracture due to a breast cancer metastasis. The cause of an isolated fracture of the lesser trochanter in adults is assumed to be the sign of an underlying malignant disease, until this has been disproven.
