Comparison Between Femoral Neck Systems and Cannulated Cancellous Screws in Treating Femoral Neck Fractures: A Meta-Analysis.
Article in Geriatric orthopaedic surgery & rehabilitation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: We performed a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of the femoral neck system (FNS) with cannulated cancellous screws (CCSs) in treating femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in controlled clinical trials. Methods: Eligible scientific articles published prior to September 2021 were retrieved from the PubMed, Web of Science, Springer, ScienceDirect and Cochrane Library databases. The statistical analysis was performed with RevMan 5.1. Results: Seven retrospective studies met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that there were significant differences in perioperative blood loss, the postoperative Harris score, healing time, fluoroscopy frequency, total complications, femoral head necrosis, femoral neck shortening and screw cutout. No significant differences were found regarding operation time, length of hospital stay or nonunion between the two groups. Conclusion: Compared with CCSs, the FNS showed better clinical efficacy and fewer complications in treating FNFs. Due to the limited quality and data of the currently available evidence, more high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed.
