A case of posterior HIP dislocation with intertrochanteric fracture: Beware of the sharp calcar spike.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Posterior dislocation of hip is commonly associated with acetabular lip fractures. Involvement of neck, trochanter or intertrochanteric region is uncommon. Very few cases of posterior hip dislocation with ipsilateral intertrochanteric fracture in the absence of head or acetabular fracture have been reported in the literature. We report such a case in a 19yr male treated with open reduction and internal fixation with sliding hip screw with good functional and radiological outcome at 1 year. Being an extremely rare form of injury, such an injury pattern does not exist in present classification systems. There is a need to revise the existing classification systems and formulate a protocol for the management of the same. Such fractures may also be associated with a sharp calcar spike of the proximal fragment impinging femoral vessels and branches. Attempt at closed reduction without adequate anatomical orientation of the spike can lead to hazardous vascular consequences.
