Nail-Retaining Derotation Osteotomy for Subtrochanteric Fracture Malunion: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Rotational malalignment is relatively common after intramedullary nailing of femoral fractures and may lead to significant clinical symptoms. Comminution, inherent differences in femoral version, and the absence of reliable clinical markers make achieving anatomical rotational reduction challenging, even for experienced surgeons. Various methods have been described to surgically correct rotational deformities, depending on the time elapsed since the original surgery and whether the fracture has already united. Both open and closed techniques have been used, along with different types of osteosynthesis hardware. We present a case of a subtrochanteric fracture malreduction fixed in 30° of internal rotation, which was corrected through an open femoral osteotomy using a Gigli saw while retaining the original nail three months after the index operation. This operative approach yielded optimal results in our case.
