Bilateral Subtrochanteric Complete Atypical Femoral Fracture in a Patient With Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Antiresorptive drugs such as bisphosphonates (BPs) or denosumab, used for the treatment of osteoporosis over the past decades, have improved bone mineral density and reduced the incidence of fractures. However, there are increasing evidence that atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) are related to long-term use of these medications. We had experienced bilateral simultaneous subtrochanteric complete AFFs in having rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for 15 years. She just had been taking risedronate for three months prior to this event. Fractures were treated with long cephalomedullary nails. We could get a bone union for the right side at 15 months after index surgery. However, two more surgeries were needed to get bone union for the left side. This study aimed to share our treatment strategy and review of the literature on the correlation between RA and AFFs.
