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

introductionThe management of pregnancy-associated femoral necrosis is controversial. Conservative management may eventually lead to hip replacement. CASE: A 40-year-old woman developed necrosis of the left hip during her first pregnancy. Treatment with zoledronic acid three months after delivery resulted in rapid reduction of the necrotic area. The patient's second pregnancy shortly afterwards had no complications. A magnetic resonance scan three years later documented complete resolution.

conclusionFemoral head necrosis should be suspected in the differential diagnosis of pain in pregnancy. Zoledronic acid given in the early stages prevented progression to hip arthritis in this case.
