Large pseudoaneurysm arising from the deep femoral artery after hip fracture fixation.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Hip fracture is a common condition of increasing global concern. Vascular injury as a complication after hip fracture repair is rare. A 90-year-old woman developed swelling and pain to her proximal thigh 1 month after uneventful hip fracture fixation. Ultrasound revealed a large pseudoaneurysm of the deep femoral artery, which was successfully treated with transcatheter embolization. Pseudoaneurysms have numerous etiologies. In this case, vascular injury is suspected to be a consequence of proximal migration of the lesser trochanteric fragment. Unfortunately, pseudoaneurysms are often not appreciated due to the nonspecific nature of the presenting symptoms. Diagnosis should be confirmed radiologically and management depends on the location and size of the pseudoaneurysm, as well as patient comorbidities. Pseudoaneurysm after hip fracture fixation is a rare but serious complication. Diagnosis is challenging due to nonspecific symptoms. A high index of suspicion is imperative to prevent life-threatening rupture.
