Nonsurgical Management of Distal Femur Stem Cortical Perforation.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Distal femur stem cortical perforation is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication during total hip arthroplasty. If unrecognized, it can lead to transverse fracture of the femur while the patient is ambulating. If an uncemented femur stem was used, previous literature unanimously agrees that revision surgery should be performed. We report a case of uncemented distal femur stem cortical perforation that was treated nonsurgically successfully with protected weight-bearing for 6 weeks. Our patient had previous osteotomy surgeries of the proximal femur with a residual deformity which increased her risk for distal femur stem cortical perforation. At 40-month follow-up, she was asymptomatic, ambulated with normal gait, and was able to perform deep squats. The discussion involves avoiding, recognizing, and managing distal femur stem cortical perforation.
