Two Very Rare Case of Simultaneous Bilateral Intertrochanteric Fracture Operated in Single Stage - A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Unilateral intertrochanteric fractures are common injuries in elderly population. Simultaneous bilateral intertrochanteric fractures do occur but are very rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Case Report: We report two cases with different modes of injury. Both cases were fixed in a single stage by proximal femoral nailing (PFN). The first case had multiple comorbidities and after 6 weeks of follow up, she suddenly expired at home due to medical issue. The second case is the only case reported with associated bilateral superior and inferior pubic rami fracture. PFN was done in a single stage and at 1-year follow-up, the patient was having a good functional outcome. Conclusion: Simultaneous bilateral intertrochanteric fractures are very rare injuries but these are potentially life-threatening with high morbidity. Quick assessment and early single-stage stabilization with proximal femoral nail give stable fixation and good functional outcome.
