Hip Dislocation Following Dynamic Hip Screw Fixation: A Rare Complication.
Article in Cureus, 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
Hip dislocation is a rare complication following fixation of an intertrochanteric fracture of the proximal femur, and only a few cases of this condition have been documented in the literature. Atraumatic dislocation and deep infection are the most commonly reported. We report a case of hip dislocation presenting with pain and reduced mobility six months after dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation. Latent deep infection was diagnosed, and organisms were isolated through intraoperative sampling. The case was managed with debridement, Girdlestone excision arthroplasty, and targeted antibiotics. Latent deep infection was identified as the cause of hip dislocation following DHS fixation in this case, with confirmation obtained via deep tissue sampling. Although spontaneous atraumatic dislocation after DHS fixation has been reported, underlying infection should be carefully ruled out.
