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
purposeFemoral neck fractures (FNFs) have become increasingly common among young adults as a result of high-energy trauma. Despite the variety of implants available for the surgical treatment of FNFs, compelling evidence of clinically uniform outcome is lacking, and high complication rates are still reported. In this scenario, it seems reasonable to investigate novel implants and surgical, especially in Pauwels type III (PIII) FNFs. The objective of this study was to describe the fatigue test results of a construct using the self-compression screw model (X-PIN + P) in PIII FNFs within a validated synthetic bone model.
methodsSawbones® composite femurs were divided into three groups corresponding to 40% (G40 (n = 4)), 50% (G50 (n = 4)), and 70% (G70 (n = 2)) of the mean load values. The test termination endpoints were catastrophic failure (CF) of the construct, displacement of 10 mm, or reaching 500,000 cycles (C500). The variables analysed were the number of cycles up to 5 mm of displacement (C5 mm), total number of cycles up to termination endpoints (TC), and the mode of CF.
resultsIn the G40, the test was terminated due to C500 in three specimens and CF in one specimen (peri-implant subtrochanteric fracture with main screw breakage). The test was terminated due to CF in all models in G50 (peri-implant subtrochanteric fracture without screw breakage in three specimens, and varus collapse of the femoral head in one specimen) and in G70 (femoral head fracture without screw breakage in both specimens).
conclusionIn vitro fatigue bench testing of the self-compression screw model X-PIN + P in PIII FNFs yield satisfactory numerical results regarding test termination due to the limit total number of cycles (500,000). Catastrophic failures were more frequently observed in the G50 and G70 after supraphysiologic loads, mainly characterized by a subtrochanteric femur fracture.
