Concomitant Neck of Femur and Greater Trochanter Fracture in a Young Adult - A Case Report.
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: Concomitant injury to the femoral neck and trochanteric area is very rare in younger patients; these are usually the result of a high-energy trauma, such as a motor vehicle accident or a fall from height. It is recommended to reduce and fix the fractures as early as possible to avoid complications, including avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head, impaired functioning of the hip abductor muscles, malunion, and non-union. Case Report: We report an extremely rare case of a 23-year-old male patient who sustained concomitant neck and greater trochanter (GT) of femur fracture, which was operated with closed reduction and internal fixation with percutaneous partially threaded cannulated cancellous (CC) screws. Conclusion: Concomitant neck of femur and GT fracture in young adults is a rare and difficult fracture pattern presenting challenges as to optimum modality of fixation. Although mostly dynamic hip screw (DHS) has been used to treat this fracture, it can also be managed by multiple CC screws, avoiding the risk of lateral wall instability inherent with DHS fixation in this fracture pattern.
