Non-union after bisphosphonate-associated atypical femoral fractures: a review of the current literature.
Review in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2026. 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
backgroundThis article explores the mechanism of action of atypical femoral fractures (AFF), specifically focussing on osteoporosis, management challenges, and the implications for clinical practice. Non-union of AFF can result in severe pain, deformity and restricted mobility-all of which will have a detrimental impact on the patients' quality of life. PURPOSE: This review consolidates the current literature regarding non-union after bisphosphonate-associated atypical femoral fractures, providing a revision tool for higher examinations. METHOD/
findingsAn extensive search strategy was conducted for relevant studies up to April 2025 using several online databases including Cochrane Library, Embase, National Library of Medicine and PubMed.
conclusionAlthough this topic is prominent among surgical colleagues and in higher level examinations, we identified that persistent gaps in knowledge exist in this area. Our review compiles the available knowledge as a revision tool for our colleagues.
