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
A 95-year-old patient suffered bleeding that required a transfusion after closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) of an intertrochanteric femoral fracture with a proximal femoral nail. After mobilization of the patient the secondarily dislocated fragment of the lesser trochanter perforated a side branch of the profunda femoris artery. The bleeding could be stopped by embolization and a few days later the patient could be discharged with stable hemoglobin levels. A continuing decrease of hemoglobin levels despite repeated transfusion of red blood cells is indicative of active bleeding. Accurate identification of the source of the bleeding after osteosynthesis of proximal femoral fractures is decisive for the correct treatment.
