Controversies in the Treatment Strategies of Intertrochanteric Fractures: A Scoping Review and Discussion of a Literature-Based Algorithm.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07738458 (Robot-Assisted Closed Reduction and Internal Fixation for Intertrochanteric Femoral Fractures), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Intertrochanteric fractures become more and more relevant in an aging population. Despite significant progress in the treatment of these fractures, some technical details, concerning the surgical procedure, are still a matter of strong debate. In this review of the literature, we have included the best evidence available from the last decade in an effort to shed light on some of the most controversial subjects related to intertrochanteric fractures: Treatment in the case of polytrauma or monotrauma? Reconstruction or arthroplasty? Open or closed reduction? Reconstruction with or without additional cables and plates? Cephalomedullary nail or dynamic hip screw (DHS)? Long cephalomedullary nail or short cephalomedullary nail? The results of this scoping review are controversial. By introducing a new therapeutic algorithm, we do not intend to present a new finished guideline but rather arouse a controversial debate about a relevant aspect in geriatric traumatology. These conflicting results are an indication that larger and more well-conducted, high-quality trials are needed in order to gain more secure answers.
