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

Femoral neck fractures are considered exclusion criteria for atypical femoral fractures; however, femoral neck fractures with atypical femoral fractures have also been reported. Here, we report a case of a femoral neck fracture with features of atypical femoral fractures and a review of the related literature. A 76-year-old woman had been treated with denosumab for five years. The patient had no history of trauma, but complained of pain in the right hip. Radiological examination revealed an incomplete fracture of the right femoral neck. Internal fixation was performed, but fusion was delayed. Bipolar hemiarthroplasty was performed four months after surgery. In a patient with long-term bisphosphonate use, complaints of hip pain could indicate the possibility of an atypical fracture. According to the existing literature, as with atypical femoral fractures, this fracture has a high risk of delayed union; therefore, temporary prosthetic replacement should be considered as a treatment option.
