A short-term efficacy comparison between the FNS and THA as interventions for unstable femoral neck fracture.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the difference in short-term clinical effects of internal fixation using the femoral neck system (FNS) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) on unstable femoral neck fractures. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 37 cases of unstable femoral neck fracture admitted to our hospital from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2023. The cases were divided into an FNS group (21 cases) and a THA group (16 cases) based on the surgical method used. A comparative analysis was performed between the cohorts regarding demographic characteristics (sex and age), perioperative parameters (length of hospital stay, surgical duration, and intraoperative blood loss), and postoperative functional outcomes [Visual Analog Pain Score (VAS) and Harris Hip Score (HHS) assessments]. Result: The operative time, length of hospital stay, and intraoperative blood loss in the FNS group were significantly lower than those in the THA group, and the time of weight bearing on the ground in the FNS group was significantly longer than that in the THA group ( Conclusion: For unstable femoral neck fractures, FNS and THA were equally effective. Although shortening and necrosis were observed in the FNS group, no statistically significant difference in postoperative complications was found between the two groups. The operative time of FNS was shorter, with less intraoperative bleeding. However, the earlier weight-bearing time of THA was more conducive to the recovery of limb function.
