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

Objective: To compare the clinical effects and safety of the proximal femur bionic nail (PFBN) with those of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) and InterTAN for the treatment of intertrochanteric femoral fracture (IFF). Methods: Studies comparing the clinical efficacy of PFBN with that of PFNA and InterTAN in the treatment of IFF published before 16 December 2025 in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases were retrieved. After the research data were extracted, Review Manager 5.4 (RevMan 5.4 ) was used for data analysis. Results: A total of 15 studies involving 990 patients were included. The meta-analysis results indicated that the PFBN group had advantages over the control group in terms of the postoperative partial and full weight-bearing time, fracture healing time, fracture reduction quality, hospital stay, postoperative Harris score, intraoperative fluoroscopy time and postoperative complication rate (partial weight-bearing time: standardized mean difference ( Conclusion: For the treatment of IFF , the PFBN is more effective and has a lower risk than the PFNA and InterTAN.
