Pantrochanteric Fracture: Incidence of the Complication in Patients with Trochanteric Fracture Treated with Dynamic Hip Screw in a Hospital of Southern Brazil.

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
objectiveThe aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence of pantrochanteric fractures in cases of trochanteric fractures treated with dynamic hip screw in our service.
methodsA sample of 54 patients with trochanteric fractures treated with dynamic hip screws was included in this retrospective study. Preoperative radiographs were evaluated for fracture classification using the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (Association for the Study of Internal Fixation, in German)/Orthopedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) system for the identification of radiographic osteoporosis and for the measurement of the lateral femoral wall thickness. In the immediate postoperative images, the presence of pantrochanteric fracture was evaluated.
resultsThe final sample presented an incidence of 16.7% of pantrochanteric fractures. The thickness of the lateral wall was significantly lower in the group with the complication (
conclusionThe percentage of pantrochanteric fractures in this service is in accordance with previous studies. There was an association between lateral femoral wall thickness and the occurrence of iatrogenic fracture of the lateral cortex. There was no significant difference between fracture classification and pantrochanteric fracture, possibly due to sample size.
