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
Vascular injuries associated with femoral intertrochanteric fractures are rare but can result in serious complications. A case of iatrogenic injury to the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery in a patient who underwent surgical fixation of an intertro-chanteric femoral fracture is presented. The injury possibly occurred during the creation of the entry point for nail insertion using a guide pin. Clinical symptoms emerged 10 days postoperatively and were successfully managed with percutaneous embolization, without major complications. This case highlights that pseudoaneurysms can develop as a result of guide pin use during hip nailing procedures. Surgeons can avoid this complication by obtaining lateral and anteroposterior views of the hip. Level of Evidence: IV, Case Report.
