Treatment of type IV Pipkin fracture in patients with a high BMI via hip arthroscopy-assisted surgery: a case report.
Article in Journal of hip preservation surgery, 2020. 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
Pipkin type IV femoral head (FH) fracture-dislocations are usually treated via open surgery. There are many surgical approaches for the treatment of this difficult fracture depending on the fracture pattern. Obesity presents another challenging problem in surgical treatment and sometimes leads to a poorer outcome. We discuss herein a patient of a high body mass index (BMI) with a Pipkin type IV FH fracture who underwent open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of anacetabular fracture with reconstruction plates and hip arthroscopy-assisted fixation of the FH fracture with two Herbert screws via the posterior approach. The intra-articular osteochondral loose bodies were excised by hip arthroscopy simultaneously. The joint congruency and screw positions were checked during surgery by arthroscopy. After 6 months, clinical and computed tomography (CT) follow-ups showed excellent results. The patient of a high BMI recovered immediately and had a satisfactory short-term outcome after hip arthroscopy-assisted surgery. We concluded that hip arthroscopy-assisted surgery is a viable option for the treatment of Pipkin type IV FH fracture-dislocations.
