Pipkin Type I and II femoral head fractures: internal fixation or excision?-from the hip arthroscopy perspective.

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 treatment of patients with femoral head fractures with regard to fixation versus excision is controversial. This study aimed to compare the results of fixation and excision in hip arthroscopy-assisted surgery. This retrospective study included adult patients with femoral head fractures who were treated with hip arthroscopy surgery from March 2016 to April 2020, with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (fixation group) and Group 2 (excision group). To compare the therapeutic effects between the two groups, clinical and radiographic outcomes, operative time, pain score, length of hospital stay after surgery and related complications were investigated. There were 13 (mean duration, 47.5 months; range, 24-72 months) and 8 (mean duration, 48.6 months; range, 26-74 months) patients in the fixation and excision groups, respectively. The excision group had better functional results than the fixation group in terms of the median modified Harris hip score (
