The effect of implant choice on varus angulation and clinical results in the management of subtrochanteric fractures.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of implant choice on varus angulation in the management of subtrochanteric fractures.
methodsBetween 2011 and 2016, 58 patients were included in the study and femur locking plate (PF-LCP; Group 1 = 27) and proximal femoral nails (PFN; Group 2 = 31) were compared retrospectively.
resultsIn group 1, femoral NSA was measured 131,37 ± 1,95 and last follow-up angle was 127,33 ± 2,40. (p = 0,025). The mean Harris hip score was 67.59 ± 17.74 and 63.29 ± 13.83 in Group 1 and Group 2, respectively (p = 0.406).
conclusionsPlate fixation is not as successful as proximal nails at preventing varus angulation.
