Functional Outcome of Intertrochanteric Fractures of the Femur Treated With Standard Surgical Modalities.
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
introductionAmong the most prevalent injuries among the elderly with trivial trauma are trochanteric fractures. Osteoporosis and female sex are additional risk factors. The patient's age, the fracture, their overall health, the amount of time between the fracture and treatment, the effectiveness of the treatment, any concurrent medical care, and the stability of the fixation all affect how well the patient responds to treatment. For its fixation, various implants are used. The main aim of this study is to assess the functional outcome in intertrochanteric fractures using the Harris Hip Scoring in intertrochanteric fractures.
methodPatients presenting with intertrochanteric femur fracture were evaluated. Written consent was taken from the patient. Radiographic data were collected. Complications and varus collapse evaluated. Functional outcome was assessed with the Harris Hip Scoring system.
resultsThe proportion of excellent Harris Hip Evaluation (HHE) scores was the highest in proximal femur nail (PFNA2) at six months follow-up examination, which was 11 (57.19%) more than any method. In the incidence of varus deformity, the proportion was maximum in the case of the dynamic hip screw (DHS) with three patients (33.33%), followed by PFN in 11 patients (28.95%), and the least for PFNA2 in three patients (15.79%).
conclusionThe mean operative time was lower in the PFN A2 group, and the HHE score values were higher than those of PFN and DHS. This study concludes that these implants have a comparable radiological and functional outcome for unstable intertrochanteric fracture except for less surgical time and blood loss in PFN A2.
