Multiple screws versus sliding hip screws in femoral neck fractures: A protocol of cohort study.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It carries an expression of concern. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThere has been a paucity of cohort trials directly comparing multiple cannulated screws (MCS) and sliding hip screws (SHS) in femoral neck fractures at any level. Thus, a well-conducted clinical trial with an adequate sample size is urgently needed. We undertake a retrospective study to compare outcomes in patients who undertake MCS or SHS fixation for femoral neck fractures.
methodsA retrospective review of femoral neck fractures performed with SHS or MCS between February 2016 and June 2018 was conducted with Institutional Review Board approval in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dali University of Orthopedic Trauma. All cases were performed by a single surgeon. Of these, we included 180 patients (90 hips) that were performed surgery in treatment of femoral neck fractures. All patients received the same standardized postoperative multimodal pain protocol and the same postoperative rehabilitation program. The primary endpoint was Harris Hip Score. Secondary outcome measures include operation time, length of hospital stay, incision length, patient satisfaction, and postoperative complications. Multivariate linear and regression analyses was used to identify independent predictors of outcome. A P-value of <.05 was defined as statistical significance.
resultsWe hypothesize that both treatments provide comparable outcomes.
trial registrationThis study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry5638).
