Femoral Nerve injury from slip and fall: A novel presentation of debilitating injury.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. 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
Introduction: Femoral nerve injury is a recognized complication of abdominal, pelvic, and orthopedic surgeries. It can also occur due to pelvic fractures, intra-abdominal trauma, and hip injuries. These injuries often result in pain, weakness, and difficulty with ambulation, significantly impacting a patient's quality of life. Case Report: We report the case of a 72-year-old male who developed femoral nerve palsy while exiting a hot tub. The unusual mechanism of injury initially led to a missed diagnosis, delaying appropriate treatment. Following an extensive diagnostic workup, femoral nerve palsy was identified as the cause of his disability. Timely intervention ultimately led to the resolution of his symptoms. Conclusion: This case highlights a novel mechanism of femoral nerve palsy and underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis for optimal outcomes. Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for rare injury mechanisms to avoid delays in treatment.
