An Acta Orthopaedica educational article: Femoral neck fractures in adults with emphasis on surgical treatment.
Review in Acta orthopaedica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Femoral neck fractures (FNFs) are associated with loss of function in all ages and excess mortality. The societal costs are high. Treatment needs to be tailored based on fracture type, functional demand, and physiological age of the patient. Internal fixation is often preferred for undisplaced FNFs and for displaced FNFs in young patients. Anatomical reduction is essential, but slight valgus is accepted. For a majority of those with displaced FNFs, a cemented hemiarthroplasty is the best alternative. This educational article suggests a treatment algorithm for FNFs and describes the evidence base for the recommended surgical techniques. Basicervical fractures, stress and pathological fractures are not included in this review.
