Retrograde Nailing for a Rare Post-Girdlestone Femur Fracture: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Femur shaft fractures are common in orthopedic practice, but their occurrence following Girdlestone resection arthroplasty (GRA) is extremely rare. We report the case of an unusual ipsilateral femoral shaft fracture after a ground-level fall in a patient who underwent hip resection arthroplasty nine years earlier due to prosthetic joint infection. The fracture was treated successfully with closed reduction and retrograde intramedullary nailing, enabling the patient to resume ambulation with pre-injury assistance levels. This case highlights the importance of understanding biomechanical implications in patients with GRA and demonstrates the efficacy of retrograde nailing in managing such rare fractures.
