The Role of Lower-Limb Geometry in the Pathophysiology of Atypical Femoral Fracture.
Review in Current osteoporosis reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeof reviewThe etiology of atypical femoral fracture (AFF) is likely multifactorial. In this review, we examined the recent literature investigating the role of lower-limb geometry in the pathophysiology of AFF. RECENT
findingsIncreased femoral bowing was associated with prevalent AFF and a greater likelihood of a diaphyseal versus a subtrochanteric AFF location. Femoral neck geometry or hip alignment may also be related to AFF, but findings remain equivocal. Differences in femoral geometry may, in part, be responsible for the high rate of AFF in Asian compared with Caucasian populations. Finally, simulation studies suggest that lower-limb geometry influences AFF risk via its effects on mechanical strain of the lateral femoral cortex. Femoral geometry, and bowing in particular, is related to prevalent AFF, but more prospective investigation is needed to determine whether measurements of geometry can be used for clinical risk stratification.
