An Unusual Complication Encountered During the Extraction of the Femoral Nail: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Orthopedic implant removal is a common surgery performed either due to patient's complaint of pain, dysfunction or infection or on doctor's advice depending on the nature of the implant and its related future problems. The surgery may range from simple k-wire removal to difficult plate or intramedullary nail removal. Many unforeseen complications are experienced during implant removal, and occasionally, it results in failure of removal, fracture, prolonged per-operative bleeding and damage to nerves and vessels. We report here an unusual complication of coiling of a thick k-wire used during implant extraction surgery to prevent sinking of the nail and the difficulties in removing this coil and the nail, along with the precautions to be taken to avoid such difficulties.
