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
Stress fractures of femoral neck are rare injuries and are usually seen in military recruits, marathon runners, and elderly with osteoporosis, renal rickets, steroid abuse, and metabolic bone diseases. Bilateral involvement of femoral neck in a healthy, non-athletic young adult is an extremely rare entity. We report one such case of a 36-year-old male who presented with bilateral groin pain for last three months. He had a history of excessive running prior to the onset of pain. The investigations confirmed bilateral stress fracture of the femoral neck, and the patient was operated with dynamic hip screw (DHS) on both sides. He returned to his routine activities in six months and at latest follow-up after two years; he is asymptomatic and has full function at both hips. This report highlights a rare cause of bilateral groin pain in a young adult, which requires early diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications.
