1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Proximal femoral fracture in an ankylosed hip is a challenging condition. There is no consensus on fixation method for these fractures. In addition, despite union the best outcome possible is the restoration of the pre morbid status. We report two different presentations of proximal femoral fracture in ankylosed hip that were successfully treated with primary total hip arthroplasty. We also discuss the surgical principles, technique and advantages of doing primary total hip arthroplasty in such cases.
