1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Choi IIIB sequela (pseudarthrosis of femoral neck) is an uncommon complication of septic hip. Only few cases are reported in literature and experience with the entity is limited. Variable pseudarthrosis behaviour and treatment outcomes are reported questioning the mechanical etiology for Choi III sequela. Methods: We briefly analysed the relevant literature and propose two different pathomechanism for the entity. Three illustrative cases in support of proposed etiology are presented. Results: There seems to be two distinct mechanisms of pseudarthrosis formation in Choi IIIB. The originally described mechanism is the articulating head getting dissociated from proximal femur due to a Conclusions: It is important to understand the possible etiologies in Choi IIIB pseudarthrosis as the treatment planning and outcomes may vary. It will also help in prognostication.
