Application of lesser trochanteric reduction fixator in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundClosed reduction and internal fixation with intramedullary nails has been widely accepted for treating intertrochanteric fractures.
aimTo focus on how to avoid displacement of the lesser trochanter in unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
methodsWe developed a lesser trochanteric reduction fixator for treating intertrochanteric fractures through fixing the lesser trochanter by combining the loop plate through the fixator after reduction by the reducer. Five patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with the newly developed lesser trochanteric reduction fixator and loop plate combined with intramedullary nails, and 20 patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with simple intramedullary nails were selected from December 2020 to March 2021.
resultsThe postoperative Harris hip score was significantly higher in patients treated with the lesser trochanteric reduction fixator than in patients treated without the lesser trochanteric reduction fixator, which indicated that this lesser trochanteric reduction fixator had a positive impact on rehabilitation of the hip joint after surgery and could significantly improve the quality of life of patients.
conclusionWe fully realize the significance of trochanteric reduction and fixation, namely, reconstruction of structures under pressure, in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. As long as the general condition of patients is favorable and they are willing to undergo surgery, fixation of the main fracture end should be performed and the lesser trochanter should be reduced and fixed at the same time.
