Rare popliteal mass following retrograde nailing of ballistic femur fracture: a case report.
Article in OTA international : the open access journal of orthopaedic trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionCivilian ballistic injuries are commonly associated with fracture, vascular injury, and soft tissue trauma. Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysms represent an extremely rare subset of vascular injuries following ballistic fractures. CASE: We present the rare case of a posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm that occurred after retrograde femoral nailing of a ballistic distal femur fracture. The patient presented in clinic postoperatively with a pulsatile popliteal mass. Distal pulses were intact but subsequent ultrasound and angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the distal superficial femoral artery. The pseudoaneurysm was subsequently treated with a covered stent and the patient's recovery was uncomplicated.
conclusionDue to the potential life and limb-threating complications from pseudoaneurysm rupture, this case report emphasizes the early recognition and expeditious management of vascular complications following ballistic fractures in the civilian population.
