Atypical Femoral Fracture Following Long-Term Bisphosphonate Therapy: An Uncommon Complication of a Common Treatment.
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
We present a case of an 82-year-old woman with an atypical femoral fracture associated with prolonged bisphosphonate therapy. After a decade of ibandronate use for osteoporosis, she sustained a subtrochanteric femoral fracture following minimal trauma. Radiographic findings were consistent with atypical femoral fracture characteristics, and surgical management with intramedullary nailing was performed. Laboratory evaluation revealed no evidence of secondary bone disease. This case highlights the importance of monitoring patients on long-term bisphosphonates and considering drug holidays to minimize the risk of atypical fractures.
