Inferior Hip Dislocation in a 60-Year-Old Man; a Case Report.
Article in Archives of academic emergency medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Inferior hip dislocation or luxatio erecta femoris is among the rarest hip dislocations, which has been described in limited studies. The patients usually present with their hip in flexion, abduction, and external rotation. Hip dislocation is an orthopedic emergency, and a reduction needs to be performed promptly to avoid devastating complications such as avascular necrosis. Here, we present a rare case of inferior hip dislocation in a 60-year-old man following a car-motorcycle collision. The patient presented to the emergency department with left hip flexion, abduction, external rotation, and inability to move his leg due to pain. Closed reduction under procedural sedation was attempted in the emergency department once, which was unsuccessful. The patient was then taken to the operating room for another attempt of closed reduction under general anesthesia. The patient was discharged after two days with pin traction and double crutches. After two weeks, the pin was removed, and full weight-bearing was permitted. After 12 weeks, the patient had mild pain with unusual activity and slight limping; however, imaging revealed no signs of any complications.
