ORIF of an intertrochanteric fracture proximal to an above-knee amputation using two AO femoral distractors.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
We present the case of a patient who sustained a displaced intertrochanteric fracture proximal to an above-the-knee amputation. Reduction was obtained using 2 AO femoral distractors placed anteriorly and laterally, spanning the hip joint. Fracture fixation was achieved using a sliding hip screw and side plate. Intertrochanteric fractures proximal to an above-the-knee amputation are challenging to manage because of the difficulty in obtaining sufficient skin traction on the stump to effect reduction. Using two femoral distractors anteriorly and laterally can help obtain length and alignment in these difficult cases.
