Miss-a-nail Technique of Femur Neck Fracture with Femur Interlocking Nail in Situ: A Technical Description.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: The neck of the femur fracture is more prevalent in the elderly, but can occur in young individuals due to high-energy trauma. Management of neck femur fracture with the femur interlocking nail in situ is a technically demanding case. Case Report: A 24-year-old male with a femoral neck fracture in the presence of an in-situ femoral interlocking nail was successfully managed using the MISS-A-NAIL technique. The goal of the management was an anatomical reduction of the neck of the femur fracture without removing the in situ femur interlocking nail, getting a stable hold and fixation with the cannulated compression screw without getting in the way of the interlocking femur nail, and using a minimally invasive technique with only a 3-4 cm incision. Conclusion: By providing a less invasive alternative to the traditional approach of removing interlocking nail and then fixing the neck of femur fracture, "Miss a nail technique" addresses the limitations of functional compromise associated with blood loss, neck of femur fracture displacement, iatrogenic fracture of the shaft femur, infections, and intra op complications related to nail removal.
