1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Removal of a retained and osseointegrated intramedullary femoral nail can represent a considerable problem, especially in the case of contemporary total hip arthroplasty or, even worse, in the case of revision hip arthroplasty. Usually, complex and invasive surgical techniques are required to remove incarcerated Kuntscher nails. We described a case of an incarcerated Kuntscher nail, inserted 39 years before, in a 75-year-old woman waiting for a revision total hip arthroplasty of a failed metal-on-metal hip resurfacing. A CT-based custom-made extra-long trephine reamer was designed and successfully used to easily extract the nail, leaving the proximal femur before a revision hip arthroplasty.
