Femoral Neck System in Pauwell III Femoral Neck Fractures: A Bibliometric Analysis and Review.
Review 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
The femoral neck system (FNS) is a relatively new internal fixation device designed to improve stability in unstable femoral neck fractures. Despite its increasing use, a comprehensive mapping of the research landscape regarding its application in high-shear Pauwels III fractures is lacking. This study aims to provide a bibliometric analysis of the current literature to identify trends, research hotspots, and evidence gaps. A systematic search of the PubMed database was conducted for studies published between 2017 and 2026. Data extraction included publication year, source journals, authorship, institutional affiliations, and country of origin. Bibliometric mapping was performed using the R-package Bibliometrix. Studies were categorized by methodology (Clinical, Biomechanical/Cadaveric, Finite Element Analysis, or Mixed) and level of evidence. Thirty-five studies were identified, with a mean document age of 2.51 years, reflecting a burgeoning interest in the FNS. Research is heavily concentrated in East Asia, with China contributing 88.5% (n=31) of the total output.
