Nightmare of repeated low-energy periprosthetic femoral fracture in a patient with severe osteoporosis - A lesson learned.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
We report an 85-year-old patient with severe osteoporosis who had suffered from multiple episodes of periprosthetic fracture of the femur. Revision fixation with long-spanning cable plate for bisphosphonate-induced atypical periprosthetic femoral fracture was performed. Nonunion and implant failure occurred at 16 months requiring revision surgery using long-stem femoral prosthesis with cable-plate fixation. To further facilitate bone healing, allograft and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) were added. Eventually bone union was achieved after one year.
