Lateral circumflex femoral artery false aneurysm as a complication of intertrochanteric hip fracture with displaced lesser trochanter.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
We present a patient who suffered an unstable intertrochanteric hip fracture and underwent osteosynthesis with a trochanteric nail. During the postoperative period, he presented a pseudoaneurysm of the lateral circumflex branch of the deep femoral artery secondary to a displaced fracture of the lesser trochanter. With the suspected diagnosis due to indirect clinical and radiological signs and confirmation by Doppler ultrasound and computed tomography angiography, a transverse arterial embolization with resolution of the symptoms was carried out. The pseudoaneurysm of the deep femoral artery or its branches is a very rare complication after intertrochanteric hip fractures, which must be taken into account in the late appearance of edema and hematoma in the thigh and evidence of medial and superior displacement of the lesser trochanter. The diagnosis is confirmed by CT angiography and the treatment by percutaneous arterial embolization has good results without the need of excising the lesser trochanter.
