Total hip arthroplasty for an intracapsular femoral neck fracture of high-femoral amputee.
Article in Archive of clinical cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Femoral neck fractures in transfemoral amputees are not common and management is associated with surgical technique and post-operative rehabilitation challenges. A 61-year-old Caucasian, male, above-knee amputee (following mangled extremity trauma 8 months before) who mobilized with a prosthesis presented to the emergency department with a right femoral neck fracture (Garden III). The patient underwent cementless total hip replacement (THR), using the lateral (Hardinge's) approach. No additional instrument was used to manipulate the residual femoral stump. The absence of the distal limb required careful preparation of the femoral canal, taking into consideration the position of the lesser trochanter, in order to appropriately align the femoral prosthesis regarding anteversion. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Six months later, the patient was ambulating using his prothesis and had almost returned to his pre-injury activity status. Satisfactory results can be obtained after THR in trans-femoral amputees.
