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

backgroundFemoroacetabular impingement (FAI) can lead to morphologic damage of both the acetabulum and the femoral neck. Recent reports have found an association between impingement deformities and the development of femoral neck stress fractures. The aim of this study was to report a series of patients with these findings and to update the current evidence on the topic. MATERIAL AND

methods5 patients (6 cases) with atraumatic femoral neck fractures and FAI were identified in the Dresden hip registry from 2015 to 2018. Demographic data, comorbidities, radiographic results and bone metabolism results were described. A literature search was conducted using keywords related to femoral neck stress fractures and FAI syndrome.

resultsThe average age of the series was 39 (range: 22-52), 2 patients were female and 3 male. A total of 12 surgical procedures were performed. 4 of the 5 patients showed radiographic features of pincer and/or cam-FAI, whereas 3 patients had a decreased femoral antetorsion (-7° to +7° antetorsion). In 3 patients, magnetic resonance imaging revealed additional signs of avascular necrosis ARCO I. There was a lack of FAI-specific treatment recommendations in the available literature. DISCUSSION: Radiographic results of the patients evaluated suggested that impingement-associated deformities of the hip may cause femoral neck stress fractures, which is in line with the available literature. This potential coincidence should be integrated in diagnostic algorithms and therapeutic approaches.
