Avascular necrosis of the femoral head after single steroid intra-articular injection.
Review in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Femoral head avascular bone necrosis (AVN) is the loss of blood supply to the bone tissue of femoral head that results in cellular death. This condition causes a significant limitation in patient daily life activities and has a poor functional outcome. Long-term steroid intake was established as a cause of AVN. However, few cases reported femoral head AVN post-single steroid intra-articular injection. We review all cases of AVN that results from single intra-articular steroid injection and present a case of femoral head AVN developed in a 78-year-old male. The patient, who was not known to have any medical illness, presented complaining of mild left hip pain for 4 months with long distant ambulation and weight standing. He was diagnosed to have left hip joint osteoarthritis for which he received intra-articular steroid injection 2 months prior visiting our orthopedics center. MRI of the pelvis revealed AVN of the femoral head. He underwent total hip arthroplasty. The pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of AVN. To best of our knowledge, this is the fifth case of AVN of femoral head AVN after single intra-articular steroid injection. We reviewed all cases of AVN of femoral head after single steroid injection. Intra-articular steroid injection can cause femoral head AVN, and the patient receiving these injections should be aware about this rare but significant complication that results in poor functional outcome and significant morbidity.
