Outcome of percutaneous compression plate for treatment of femoral neck fractures: mean follow-up of 4.4 years.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposePercutaneous compression plate (PCCP) provides superior anti-rotational abilities and mechanical strength in femoral neck fractures (FNFs). The first series reporting its utilization of FNFs was promising. Since the long-term outcome regarding the implant has not been reported, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term functional outcomes and complications after fixation using PCCP in FNFs. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom 2010 to 2019, 51 patients aged from 18 to 87 years were evaluated; 11 patients were excluded from this study. Demographic data, fracture classification, and complications were analyzed. Besides plain radiographs and CT, uptake ratios using bone scintigraphy and/or SPECT were also collected and analyzed.
resultsAt a mean follow-up of 4.4 ± 2.0 years (range, 2-10 years), the mean Harris hip score was 88, with 44 patients (86.3%) achieving excellent or good outcomes. The rate of complication was 13.7% (7/51), with five cases of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (OFNH). Hip replacements were performed in four (7.8%) cases. After confirmation of normal transfusion status, 11 patients underwent elective removal of the implant without further complications.
conclusionClosed reduction and internal fixation using PCCP in FNFs resulted in satisfactory outcomes with low complication rates. Longer follow-up (3-5 years) and sequential bone scintigraphy or SPECT after surgery are recommended after internal fixation using PCCP.
