Fully-threaded cannulated screws versus partially-threaded cannulated screws for femoral neck fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
objectiveFemoral neck fractures (FNFs) are a common orthopedic type, and there are many treatment methods for it, and cannulated screw internal fixation is currently one of the main treatment methods. The choice of fully threaded cannulated screw (FCS) or partially threaded cannulated screw (PCS) remains controversial. Therefore, we performed this meta-analysis to evaluate the outcomes of FCS and PCS in the treatment of FNF.
methodsArticles published before 29 April, 2024 were selected from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and CNKI, using the PRISMA guidelines. Two independent reviewers searched and assessed the literature. The PICOS criteria were used to ensure that the included studies met the inclusion criteria. We used RevMan 5.3. Software to perform analysis.
resultsCompared with the PCS group, the FCS group had a lower femoral head necrosis rate (OR 0.60, 95% CI 0.37-0.98, P = 0.04), lower internal fixation failure rate (OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.22-0.62, P = 0.0002) and lower femoral neck shortening rate (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.19-0.40, P < 0.00001). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the Harris hip score or nonunion rate.
conclusionsThe results of this meta-analysis revealed that compared with PCS, FCS had a lower incidence of postoperative complications and better postoperative outcomes in the treatment of FNF. Therefore, we believe that FCS may be a more effective treatment for FNF.
