Lower lumbar back pain occurring with transient hip osteoporosis: complication of prolonged suffering and neck of femur fracture in a 24-year-old pregnant patient.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Six days after a normal delivery, a 24-year-old woman with atraumatic lumbosacral pain radiating to the left groin was referred to the orthopaedic surgeon due to worsening pain and impossible load bearing on the left lower limb. Standard pelvic radiographs revealed an unstable displaced left neck of femur (NOF) fracture. A CT scanner and MRI showed diffuse osteopaenia of the left proximal femur and the corresponding acetabulum. A diagnosis of transient osteoporosis of the hip (TOH) complicated by a pathological displaced subcapital NOF fracture was established. The patient underwent total hip arthroplasty without complication and recovered excellent function after rehabilitation. Awareness of the differential diagnosis of TOH in pregnancy, a high index of suspicion and early MRI to make an early diagnosis and to prevent devastating fracture complications are mandatory.
