Bilateral Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Heads Secondary to Familial Hyperlipidemia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a progressive disease characterized by bone death secondary to an interruption of the relevant vascular supply. While it is most common in pediatrics and later adulthood, it can occur at any age. This case describes a previously healthy man in his mid-twenties who presented with worsening hip pain. Imaging, including X-ray and magnetic resonance, revealed severe marrow edema and early collapse of the femoral head. The patient was also found to have a severely elevated low-density lipoprotein level, leading to the diagnosis of AVN due to familial hyperlipidemia. He received a total hip arthroplasty and was started on high-intensity statin therapy. This case highlights the importance of considering AVN in the young adult population with hip pain as well as the appropriate workup and treatment.
