Does double fluoroscopy reduce operative and radiation time in femoral neck fracture fixation?

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

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the advantages of using double fluoroscopy during closed reduction and internal fixation of femoral neck fractures.
methodsIn this prospective randomized study, 42 patients with femoral neck fractures treated between January 2021 and Sep-tember 2022 were included. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: double fluoroscopy (Group A, n=20) or single fluoroscopy (Group B, n=22). The groups were compared in terms of preparation time, operative time, preparatory radiation time, and intraoperative radiation time.
resultsBaseline characteristics were comparable between the groups. There were no significant differences in age, sex, fracture side, fracture classification (Garden and Pauwels), mechanism of injury, anesthesia method, time to surgery, or duration of follow-up. The mean operative times were 73.1±7.25 minutes and 85.59±9.94 minutes for the double and single fluoroscopy groups, respectively (p<0.001). Total radiation times were 92.2±8.4 seconds and 113.27±18.1 seconds, respectively (p<0.001). Both operative and radiation times were significantly shorter in the double C-arm fluoroscopy group compared to the single C-arm fluoroscopy group.
conclusionThe use of a double fluoroscopy technique was associated with a significant reduction in operative time and radiation exposure overall in patients.
