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

purposeThe ideal treatment of non-united and neglected fracture neck femur in the young adult still remains unclear and is characterized by many biological and biomechanical challenges.

methodsTwenty-one patients with non-united or neglected fracture neck femur aged between 19 and 50 years were treated by a novel subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy and were followed up for a mean of 26.7 months. Patients were assessed by radiological parameters, the Harris Hip Score, Oxford Knee Score, and Askin Bryan Criteria to categorize the overall outcome of the patients at 24 months. Other outcome measures included the occurrence of AVN, adductor lever arm, leg length discrepancy, and mechanical implant failure.

resultsAll patients treated with the SALVA osteotomy consolidated and displayed a marked improvement of functional and radiological outcome measures. Nevertheless, there were 2 mechanical failures in patients with marked osteopenia and three developed AVN.

conclusionsIn patients with un-united/neglected fracture neck femur, SALVA osteotomy appears to be reliable and reproducible. It also restores the abductor lever arm and improves the leg length discrepancy. Technically less demanding conversion to arthroplasty remains still possible prospectively.
