Avascular necrosis of femoral head following COVID-19 infection.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Introduction: It is crucial to be aware of post-COVID-19 non-pulmonary complications. Avascular necrosis (AVN) is one of these complications. It should be noted that the risk of AVN persists in individuals who have recovered from the COVID-19 infection. The current study aims to report several cases of AVN after being infected with SARS-CoV-2. Materials and methods: This is a single-centre retrospective case series conducted over a 2-year period (January 2021-December 2022) involving individuals who developed AVN after being infected with COVID-19. Result: The study included a total of 17 patients. The mean age of patients was 38.65±6.1 years. Twelve of them were male (70.6%) and five were female (29.4%), with a ratio of 3:1. The mean BMI of the patients was 28.3±2.4 kg/m Conclusion: The ongoing pandemic may have many long-term sequelae. There is a risk of developing AVN after COVID-19.
