Choose the appropriate implantation position of the Femoral Neck System in the femoral neck: a finite-element analysis.
Article in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
purposeThere is no specific literature on the best implantation position of the Femoral Neck System (FNS) for treating Pauwels type III femoral neck fracture in young adults.
methodsUse finite-element analysis to compare the mechanical properties of implantation positions: FNS in the central position, FNS in the low position, and FNS in the low position combined with cannulated screw (CS). The CT data of the femur were imported into the mimics20.0 to obtain the three-dimensional model of the femur; imported into geomagic2017 and SolidWorks 2017 for optimizations; models of FNS and CS are built on the basis of the device manuals. Grouping is as follows: FNS group, FNS-LOW group, and FNS-CS group. Assemble and import them into abaques6.14 for load application. The displacement distribution and von Mises Stress value of them were compared.
resultsOn femoral stability and stress distribution, the FNS-CS group performs best, followed by the FNS-LOW group, and finally FNS group. The FNS-LOW group has an improvement over the FNS group but not by much.
conclusionIn operations, when the implantation position of the central guide wire is not at the center of the femoral neck but slightly lower, it is recommended not to adjust the wire repeatedly in pursuit of the center position; for femoral neck fractures that are extremely unstable at the fracture end or require revision, the insertion strategy of FNS in the low position combined with CS can be adopted to obtain better fixation effects.
