Comparison of surgical complications following hip hemiarthroplasty between the posterolateral and lateral approaches.
Article in International journal of burns and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionFemur neck fractures are common fractures among the elderly. Hemiarthroplasty is a surgical choice for femur neck fractures in patients older than 70 years. This surgery is performed using two main methods: Posterolateral and Direct lateral. Here in this study, we aimed to evaluate and compare surgical and post-surgical complications of these two methods. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study was performed on 154 patients with femur neck fractures between 2017-2021. All patients with femur neck fractures who had been under hemiarthroplasty entered this study. Data regarding complications such as dislocation, mortality, cause of mortality, repeated surgery and incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in both Posterolateral and Direct lateral surgical approaches were collected and analyzed.
resultsWe indicated that there is no significant difference between the two surgical approaches regarding dislocation (P=0.06), mortality (P=0.598) and repeated operation (P=0.550).
conclusionTaken together there are no significant differences between the two surgical approaches and we suggest that clinicians could decide based on their experiences and the clinical condition of patients.
