Precollapse femoral head avascular necrosis after combined surgical-medical management.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head occurs due to loss of blood supply leading to osteocyte death and progression to collapse if not treated early. Hence, we followed 60 patients (80 hips) with precollapse AVN (Modified Ficat-Arlet stage I and IIA) who underwent core decompression with autologous cancellous iliac crest grafting plus a fixed pharmacotherapy protocol for 48 weeks. Harris Hip Score improved serially, with unilateral hips reaching 87.5% and bilateral hips 90% good to excellent outcomes at final follow up and no hip remaining in poor category. Most hips were Stage I and idiopathic was the common etiology and the results support that combined surgical plus medical management gives meaningful short-term functional benefit when started early.
