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
We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of simultaneous insufficiency fracture of the bilateral femoral neck in an older patient taking bisphosphonate. Femoral neck fractures frequently occur in older individuals because of traumatic incidents, such as a fall. A 74-year-old woman with osteoporosis was taking raloxifene hydrochloride and bisphosphonate for approximately 5 and 3 years, respectively. Despite no history of falls or any other traumatic incidence, the patient reported cooccurrence of pain on both sides of the hip. Imaging revealed bilateral femoral neck fractures. Bipolar hemiarthroplasty and internal fixation were conducted on the right and left hips, respectively. At 6 months postoperatively, the patient reported gradual disappearance of left hip pain, and a radiograph revealed that the fracture had healed. Overall, clinical and histological findings suggested an atypical fracture, thereby proving that this type of fracture can occur in areas other than the femoral shaft.
