1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We present the case of a 53-year-old female patient with a peri-implant transcervical femoral fracture associated with an intramedullary nail (IMN) implanted over 10 years ago following a low-energy fall from standing height. The preexisting implant constrained traditional surgical options due to the risks associated with nail removal, such as iatrogenic fractures and soft tissue damage. Closed reduction assisted by a traction table was performed, followed by internal fixation with cannulated screws in an inverted triangular configuration, preserving the preexisting implant and avoiding surgical complications. Clinical and functional follow-up demonstrated a satisfactory recovery. At 6 weeks, the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Oxford Hip Score (OHS) indicated moderate recovery, with progressive improvement reaching excellent scores at 1 year (HHS: 96, OHS: 46). This case highlights the feasibility of cannulated screws as a minimally invasive and effective strategy for peri-implant transcervical fractures, maximizing patient benefits while minimizing surgical risks.
