The utility of the angled blade plate in hip fracture nonunion treatment: A report of three cases and review of the literature.
Article in OTA international : the open access journal of orthopaedic trauma, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
objectivesWe report the radiographic and clinical outcome of patients treated with an angled blade plate (ABP) for hip fracture nonunion. We also provide a review of the literature on joint preserving treatment approaches to hip fracture nonunions.
designRetrospective, case series.
settingTertiary academic hospital. PATIENTS/
participantsThree.
interventionWe treated three patients with varied hip fracture nonunions using a joint preserving approach with an ABP. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Radiographic union and clinical outcome.
resultsAll three patients achieved radiographic union, and were ambulating without pain at final follow-up.
conclusionsThe treatment approach to hip fracture nonunions is either restorative (joint preserving) or reconstructive (joint replacing). The primary restorative approach to nonunions around the hip consists of revision open reduction and internal fixation with or without bone grafting. Though a variety of implants and treatment techniques have demonstrated excellent success in this setting, revision open reduction and internal fixation with an ABP remains an efficacious implant selection in hip nonunion surgery.
