Establishment and validation of a prognostic nomogram for periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip replacement surgery.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 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
backgroundIn recent years, with the gaining popularity and wide application of total hip arthroplasty (THA), the incidence rate of periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) has increased. The treatment of PFF is difficult and has many related complications. Herein, we aimed to construct a nomogram model to predict occurrence of PFF after THA, in order to identify high-risk populations.
methodsIn this retrospective analysis, we selected 2,528 patients who underwent THA at Wuhan Fourth Hospital from January 2014 to August 2022. Patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 1,770) and an internal validation cohort (n = 758) in a 7:3 ratio. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) algorithm and logistic regression analysis were used to perform feature analysis and convert them into a nomogram model. The model was externally validated in 1,383 THA patients at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University.
resultsSix independent risk factors for predicting PFF were identified, namely age, female sex, hip revision, non-cemented prosthesis, history of trauma, and osteoporosis. The nomogram demonstrated sufficient predictive accuracy, with area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.798 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.725-0.872), 0.877 (0.798-0.957), and 0.804 (0.710-0.897) in the training, internal validation, and external validation cohorts, respectively. The calibration curve showed good consistency between the predicted risk of the model and the actual risk.
conclusionsThe nomogram model for postoperative PFF after THA established in this study has good predictive value and helps identify high-risk populations.
