Pre-sliding of the femoral neck system to prevent postoperative shortening of femoral neck fractures.

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
Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of pre-sliding of the femoral neck system (FNS) in the prevention of postoperative femoral neck shortening in femoral neck fractures. Method: This study was designed to retrospectively analyze data from 109 patients with femoral neck fractures who were admitted to a Level I trauma center between April 2020 and June 2022. Of these patients, 90 were followed up for more than 12 months. The study included 52 males and 38 females, with 35 cases of Garden I and II fractures and 55 cases of Garden III and IV fractures. The Harris Hip Score at 12 months postoperatively were recorded. The patients were divided into two groups based on their surgical records and postoperative radiography: the Pre-sliding group and the No-pre-sliding group. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of pre-sliding in preventing femoral neck shortening, fracture healing time, degree of postoperative shortening, complications, and Harris Hip Score, and to make a comparison between the two groups. Results: All 90 patients were followed up for over one year after surgery. A statistically significant difference was observed in the preoperative Garden classification (P < 0.05). At 1 year after the operation, the shortening distance was 6.5 ± 6.4 mm in the No-pre-sliding group and 3.9 ± 3.4 mm in the Pre-sliding group. The Harris Hip Score were 88.7 (79.8, 93.5) in the No-pre-sliding group and 94.8 (87.7, 96.9) in the Pre-sliding group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). Shortening was concentrated at 3 months postoperatively and reached a stable state within 6 months, with less persistent shortening occurring after 6 months. There was no statistically significant difference in the preoperative baseline data. Conclusion: Pre-sliding of the FNS prevents postoperative shortening of the femoral neck and improves hip function as measured by the Harris Hip Score.
