Methods to predict osteonecrosis of femoral head after femoral neck fracture: a systematic review of the literature.
Synthesis in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundFemoral neck fracture (FNF) is a very common traumatic disorder and a major cause of blood supply disruption to the femoral head, which may lead to a severe long-term complication, osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). Early prediction and evaluation of ONFH after FNF could facilitate early treatment and may prevent or reverse the development of ONFH. In this review paper, we will review all the prediction methods reported in the previous literature.
methodsStudies on the prediction of ONFH after FNF were included in PubMed and MEDLINE databases with articles published before October 2022. Further screening criteria were conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. This study highlights all the advantages and disadvantages of the prediction methods.
resultsThere were a total of 36 studies included, involving 11 methods to predict ONFH after FNF. Among radiographic imaging, superselective angiography could directly visualize the blood supply of the femoral head, but it is an invasive examination. As noninvasive detection methods, dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and SPECT/CT are easy to operate, have a high sensitivity, and increase specificity. Though still at the early stage of development in clinical studies, micro-CT is a method of highly accurate quantification that can visualize femoral head intraosseous arteries. The prediction model relates to artificial intelligence and is easy to operate, but there is no consensus on the risk factors of ONFH. For the intraoperative methods, most of them are single studies and lack clinical evidence.
conclusionAfter reviewing all the prediction methods, we recommend using dynamic enhanced MRI or single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography in combination with the intraoperative observation of bleeding from the holes of proximal cannulated screws to predict ONFH after FNF. Moreover, micro-CT is a promising imaging technique in clinical practice.
