Bilateral spontaneous simultaneous femoral neck occult fracture in a middle-aged man due to osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency osteomalacia: A case report and literature review.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionBilateral stress fracture of the femoral neck is very rarely seen in healthy young patients who are neither athletes nor military recruits. PRESENTATION OF CASE: The present report describes a 51-year-old male patient, not an athlete and with no previous history of disease, who developed bilateral stress fracture of the femoral neck without displacement. DISCUSSION: Simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fracture is a rare injury. In the present case, two factors predisposed to bilateral occult fracture of the femoral neck. The first was osteoporosis due to the patient's smoking and alcohol abuse. The second was vitamin D deficiency osteomalacia associated with inadequate sun exposure.
conclusionAll patients who present with spontaneous hip pain should be evaluated for osteoporosis and osteomalacia and assessed for underlying occult fracture if they report groin pain or difficulty in walking, even when findings from plain X-ray are normal, to improve prognosis in this rare and serious condition.
