The routine use of skin traction in patients with femoral neck fractures awaiting arthroplasty: a narrative review.
Review in EFORT open reviews, 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
Femoral neck fractures remain a significant challenge in orthopaedic surgery, particularly among elderly patients. This review synthesizes the current peer-reviewed literature on initial management strategies, with a particular emphasis on the use of skin traction. Skin traction, which involves the application of adhesive tape, a crepe bandage, and a calibrated pulley system with precise weights, is analysed in terms of its efficacy in clinical practice. The review discusses the benefits and drawbacks of skin traction, drawing on recent studies to assess its role in fracture management. The goal is to provide nuanced scientific insights into the ongoing discourse surrounding the management of femoral neck fractures.
