Intrapelvic Migration of the Lag Screw with Wedge Wing from Dyna Locking Trochanteric Nail: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Hip & pelvis, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The intrapelvic migration of cervicocephalic lag screws is a rare complication after intertrochanteric fracture synthesis with an intramedullary nail. Only 15 cases of intrapelvic penetration by three different instrument systems have been described in the literature. However, to our knowledge, there is no report of intrapelvic migration of the lag screw with wedge wing designed to increase fixation power using the Dyna locking trochanteric (DLT) nail. We present a case of intrapelvic migration of the lag screw with wedge wing from DLT nail. The patient described herein underwent a two-staged operation of implant removal without intrapelvic approach followed by bipolar hemiarthroplasty. With intrapelvic migration conditions, although it is not uncommon to require an additional intrapelvic approach, this modification can lead to lethal consequences. For this reason, it is recommended to coordinate with the vascular surgery department due to the close proximity of the major vessels.
