Frequency and Classification of Femoral Neck Fractures: A Cross-Sectional Study From a Tertiary Care Hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan.
Article in Cureus, 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
introductionIn the human body, the strongest and densest bone is the femur, which plays the pivotal role in weight-bearing. Therefore, femoral neck fractures lead to significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. This study aims to determine the frequency of femoral neck fractures in the general population using the Garden classification.
methodsThis was a descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted at the Department of Orthopaedics, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, Pakistan, from January 10 to July 10, 2022. A total of 164 patients, aged 18-70 years of either gender, who presented after trauma with moderate to severe groin pain, tenderness, and swelling, were recruited. Diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical examination and radiological findings. Fractures were then classified using the Garden classification. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 21.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States). Quantitative variables were presented as mean ± SD, and qualitative variables as frequencies and percentages.
resultsThe mean age of patients was 50.64 ± 8.12 years. Out of 164 patients, 89 (54.3%) were male and 75 (45.7%) were female. Femoral neck fractures were observed in 51 (31.1%) patients. Among these, Garden Type I fractures were present in 19 (37.3%) patients, Garden Type II fractures in 20 (39.2%), Type III in 8 (15.7%), and Type IV in 4 (7.8%) patients.
conclusionThe majority of femoral neck fractures in this cohort were classified as Garden Type I and II. Early recognition and classification are essential for guiding treatment and improving outcomes.
