Simultaneous Bilateral Proximal Femur Implant Failure: 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. An erratum has been issued. 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
A seven-year-old boy with Moebius syndrome and bilateral hip dysplasia underwent left-sided adductor lengthening, bilateral proximal femur varus derotational osteotomies, and internal fixation with proximal femur blade plates, and left-sided Dega pelvic osteotomy. Postoperatively, he was immobilized in a Petrie cast. A month later, the child presented with bilateral proximal femur blade plate implant failure. Simultaneous bilateral proximal femur implant failure in a child, to our knowledge, has not yet been reported. Implant failure in the absence of significant trauma is rare. We describe various contributory factors that may lead to implant failure which must be carefully considered while managing a non-ambulatory child.
