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

Cement intravasation occurs in hemiarthroplasty when pressurization of cement through the medullary canal backflows through the nutrient vessels. This case report describes a 70-year-old woman who underwent hip hemiarthroplasty for a displaced left femoral neck fracture. Postoperative radiographs demonstrated radio-opacity consistent with local cement intravasation. A Doppler ultrasound study subsequently revealed a mobile thrombus at the confluence of the femoral and profunda femoris veins, as well as a nonmobile thrombus within the profunda femoris vein. The more proximal thrombus was determined to be cement that had intravasated during the index operation. The cement likely impeded venous flow, ultimately leading to the development of deep vein thrombosis just distal to the site of cement occlusion.
