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

introductionPrimary total hip replacement (THR) surgery for the neck of femur (NOF) fracture in a case of below-knee amputation with distal femur shaft non-union is rare. CASE REPORT: This case describes the traumatic right NOF fracture in a 49-year-old male patient with distal femur shaft non-union. The patient has a history of ipsilateral below the knee amputation along with right distal femur shaft fracture managed with retrograde femur nailing 10 months back following a road traffic accident. The NOF fracture was managed by primary THR as the definitive procedure after distal femur nail removal and distal femur plating with allograft for non-union.

conclusionPrimary THR with distal femur plating and allogenic bone grafting in such cases provides satisfactory outcomes. It allows for early ambulation and rehabilitation of the patient.
