1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 present the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented with anterior groin pain, initially diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis (OA), scheduled for total hip arthroplasty, and subsequently diagnosed with an occult fragility fracture of the pelvis (FFP) by preoperative computed tomography (CT) examination. We diagnosed the patient with pre-existing hip OA and a bilateral sacrum and left pubic tubercle fracture that exacerbated the groin pain. We operated on the FFP followed by simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty. Given the high prevalence of hip OA and the increasing incidence of FFP, comorbidity of these 2 entities should be ruled out. Even if hip OA is apparent, plain radiographs are insufficient to rule out FFP, necessitating a thorough clinical examination, followed by a CT examination if an FFP is suspected.
