Biomechanical Evaluation of Internal Fixation of Pauwels Type III Femoral Neck Fractures: A Systematic Review of Various Fixation Methods.
Synthesis in Clinics in orthopedic surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 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
backgroundThe purpose of this systematic review was to investigate various fixation methods or implants used in the treatment of Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures.
methodsPubMed Central, OVID Medline, Cochrane Collaboration Library, Web of Science, Embase, and AHRQ databases were searched to identify relevant studies published until August 2017 with English language restriction. Studies were selected on the basis of the following inclusion criteria: biomechanical study of Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures and the use of dynamic hip screw (DHS) or multiple screw fixation or other devices for fixation of the fracture.
resultsA total of 15 studies were included in the systematic review. Eight studies were conducted using cadavers, six studies using sawbones, and one using a finite element model. During the mechanical testing, each study measured mechanical stiffness, failure to cyclic loading, failure to vertical loading of each fixation device. DHS was included in 11 studies, multiple screw fixation in 10 studies, and other devices in six studies. Baitner et al. and Samsami et al. reported that the mechanical stiffness of DHS was superior to three inverted triangular screw fixation. Hawks et al. and Gumustas et al. reported that using a transverse calcar screw can withstand vertical loading better than three inverted triangular screw fixation. In addition, there were some studies where instruments such as Intertan nail, locking plate or other devices showed excellent biomechanical properties.
conclusionsThere are a variety of methods and instruments for fixation of the Pauwels type III fractures. However, it is difficult to conclude that any method is more desirable because there are advantages and disadvantages to each method. Therefore, we should pay attention to the implant choice and consider adequate weight bearing affecting the stiffness of the implant.
