A Rare Case of Femoral Shaft Fracture Linked to Childbirth.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Birth injuries occur rarely during Cesarean section thanks to antenatal care, skilled obstetricians, and decreased instrumental maneuvers. Most traumatic fractures during childbirth involve the clavicle and humerus, which are related to malposition and malpresentation. We report a rare case of femoral shaft fracture at childbirth. A 19-year-old primigravida with a normal antenatal history delivered a term newborn with a 2.14 kg birth weight by Cesarean section. A day after birth, the mother noticed a swelling on the baby's right thigh with mild deviation of the right limb compared to the left one, and excessive crying upon touching the area. Urgent X-ray revealed a closed fracture of the right femur mid-shaft. Conservative management, including splinting and casting, was performed. Follow-up X-ray after three weeks revealed new soft tissue bone formation, and the child was discharged in a hemodynamically stable condition with follow-up advice.
