Does Fracture Severity of Intertrochanteric Fracture in Elderly Caused by Low-Energy Trauma Affected by Gluteus Muscle Volume?
Article in Hip & pelvis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a correlation between the type and stability of intertrochanteric fractures caused by low-energy trauma and gluteus muscle volume. Materials and Methods: A total of 205 elderly (>65 years) patients with intertrochanteric fractures caused by low-energy trauma treated from January 2018 to December 2020 were included in this study. The mean age of patients was 81.24 years (range, 65-100 years). Fractures were classified according to the Jensen modification of the Evans classification. The cross-sectional area of the contralateral gluteus muscle (minimus, medius, and maximus) was measured in preoperative axial computed tomography slices. An analysis and comparison of age, body mass index (BMI), weight, height, and the gluteus muscle area in each fracture type group was performed. Results: In the uni-variable analysis, statistically significant taller height was observed in patients in the stable intertrochanteric fracture (modified Evans 1 and 2) group compared with those in the unstable intertrochanteric fracture (modified Evans 3, 4, and 5) group ( Conclusion: Gluteal muscularity around the hip, especially the gluteus maximus, had a significant effect on the stability of intertrochanteric fractures.
