The Effect of Obesity on Operative Time and Postoperative Complications for Peritrochanteric Femur Fractures.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Introduction The high prevalence of obesity among adults in the United States presents significant challenges to orthopedic surgeons. Obesity has been shown to increase operative time and complications in both elective and nonelective orthopedic surgeries. Despite this, there is a lack of literature evaluating the effect obesity has on operative time and postoperative complications following peritrochanteric fracture surgery. Methods and Materials We performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent isolated operative stabilization of a peritrochanteric femur fracture at our urban level one trauma center between 2010 and 2018. Patients were divided into an obese group, as defined by a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 30 kg/m
