Open Reduction and Internal Fixation and Cement-In-Cement Revision for Selected Vancouver B Proximal Femur Periprosthetic Fractures.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The incidence of periprosthetic proximal femoral fractures is increasing with the increase in arthroplasty being performed as well as aging populations. We describe an open reduction and internal fixation and cement-in-cement technique utilizing a well-fixed cement mantle. The advantages of this allow for a shorter operative time, reduction in risk of iatrogenic femoral fractures, and reduction in blood loss. This was a retrospective study reviewing 20 patients that underwent this technique for periprosthetic fractures. Thirty percent (n = 6) of patients underwent subsequent surgery. We had a 95% (n = 19) union rate with 1 case refracturing through the old fracture. This technique can allow for shorter operative times and a lower physiological insult in reducible periprosthetic proximal femur fractures with a stable cement mantle.
