Double lag-screw compression for optimal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures with large fragment gap: A technical note.
Article in SICOT-J, 2023. 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
Cephalomedullary nailing of unstable intertrochanteric fractures has been established as a fruitful surgical approach with relatively limited complications. Anatomic fracture reduction and proper implant positioning are vital to attaining a favorable long-term surgical outcome. Appropriate intraoperative fracture compression augments stability and invigorates healing. The amount of compression permitted by cephalomedullary nails cannot always adequately reduce large fragment gaps. This paper presents a novel technical trick of double compression of the fracture site, in order to achieve the essential extra compression and reduction when required, thus decreasing the risk of postoperative implant cut-out. The technique was used in 14 out of 277 peritrochanteric fractures treated with cephalomedullary nailing in our trauma center for 12 months, with satisfactory outcomes regarding both fracture site union and postoperative functional capacity.
