Reverse oblique proximal femoral fracture in dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa: challenges and recommendations.
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 1 paper.
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 35-year-old woman attended the emergency department after sustaining a reverse oblique proximal femur fracture, which was amenable to intramedullary nailing. Her presentation was complicated by a background of severe generalised recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, with extensive blistering of most of her skin, including the area over the standard surgical incision sites. For the successful management of this case, extensive input from the multidisciplinary team was required, with the team facing several challenges. The whole approach to nursing and surgical management (anaesthesia, positioning, fracture reduction and wound care) had to be modified, taking great care to protect the skin at any cost, therefore reducing the risk of a surgical site infection which would be catastrophic. The management of this patient can set a framework that can be followed in similar cases, aiming for a favourable outcome of such challenging, rare conditions.
