Femoral Nerve Palsy Following Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty in a Patient With Iliac Venous Stents: A Case Report.
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
A male in his 50s with chronic venous insufficiency and bilateral iliac venous stents who had undergone right direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty presented on postoperative day one with sensory deficiencies and motor weakness in the distribution of the right femoral nerve. The patient was diagnosed with severe femoral nerve palsy, based on absent quadriceps activation and electromyography-confirmed denervation. Though a known complication of this approach, severe femoral nerve palsy is a rare occurrence. The authors hypothesize that venous stents may have contributed to the increased vulnerability of the femoral nerve during retraction. Great care should be taken in patients with prior stenting to avoid further compression perioperatively and subsequent development of femoral nerve palsy.
