1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionWe aimed to clarify differences in femoral morphology associated with post-hip fracture knee pain (PHFKP).

methodsMedical records and radiographic examinations were retrospectively reviewed to determine the relationship between PHFKP development and femoral morphology. Leg length discrepancy (LLD) and neck-shaft angle discrepancy (NSAD) were measured from hip radiographs.

results202 were enrolled, of whom 64 (31.7%) developed PHFKP. The PHFKP group showed more varus NSA. Intertrochanteric femoral fractures (γ-nail or CHS) displayed a more varus NSA.

conclusionsFemoral morphology (varus NSA) may be involved in the development of PHFKP.
