Subtrochanteric fracture after core decompression for osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a case report and literature review.
Review in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundOsteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common clinical disease. Improper treatment can lead to femoral head collapse and hip joint dysfunction. Core decompression is particularly important for early ONFH. However, subtrochanteric fractures after core decompression cause some clinical problems. CASE PRESENTATION: This article describes a 34-year-old male patient with early ONFH. After core decompression, he suffered a subtrochanteric fracture of the femur while bearing weight on the affected limb when going up stairs. He was subsequently treated with open reduction and intramedullary nail fixation.
conclusionWhen core decompression is used to treat ONFH, the location or size of the drill hole, whether a tantalum rod or bone is inserted, and partial weight-bearing of the affected limb may directly affect whether a fracture occurs after surgery. It is hoped that this case report can provide a reference for clinical orthopedic surgeons in the treatment of early ONFH.
