Permissive Weight Bearing in Patients With Surgically Treated Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures Around Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Scoping Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPFF) around total hip arthroplasty (THA) are one of the leading causes of hip revision. High mortality rates are observed after revision in case of PPFF around THA. To modify risk factors, early postoperative mobilization is necessary. Permissive weight bearing (PWB) is designed to optimize clinical recovery in aftercare. This study aimed to perform a scoping review to summarize the current available evidence on postoperative weight bearing in late PPFF around THA and the implementation of PWB in aftercare. A systematic search was performed on the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases on January 26th, 2023. Articles were screened in two stages by two independent reviewers. Studies describing adult patients with a history of primary THA who were surgically treated for late PPFF and mentioning prescribed postoperative weight-bearing protocols with relevant outcome measures were included. Seven studies were included, reporting data on 22 patients (age range 47-97 years, BMI range 19-32 kg/m
