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
We report on a 77-year-old male patient, who presented with excessive bone loss at the area of the greater trochanter after several hip revision surgeries resulting in a persistent friction syndrome caused directly by the rough surface and sharp edges of the prosthetic shoulder of a well-fixed Wagner-type revision stem. Surgery was performed by creating a cemented neotrochanter with an attached polyester patch around the proximal lateral shaft and performing a Z-plasty of the iliotibial tract. Twelve months postoperatively, the patient reported a reduction in subjective pain of 50% and improvement of the Harris Hip Score from 45 to 75 points. Without a definition in the current literature, the authors propose the term "lateral hip prosthetic friction syndrome" (LHPFS) to describe this medical condition.
