Article in Der Unfallchirurg, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Femoral head fractures a very rare emergency situation and occur in 4-17% of hip joint dislocations. Of femoral head dislocation fractures 3.7% occur in combination with acetabular fractures. Reduction of the dislocation should be immediately performed. Decisive for whether treatment should be conservative or surgical by resection of the fragments, reconstruction of the femoral head or prosthetic joint replacement, is the grading of the fracture type using the Pipkin classification. Surgical treatment appears to give a better outcome in Pipkin type 1 and Pipkin type 2 fractures than conservative treatment. The in-house cohort of patients showed a good long-term outcome after surgical reconstruction. The follow-up treatment is carried out with 6 weeks of floor contact and pharmaceutical ossification prophylaxis. The danger of secondary femoral head necrosis needs to be considered at all times. In patients aged > 65 years a primary endoprosthetic joint replacement is indicated.
