Anterior periosteal flap elevation to aid reduction and reduce retinacular tension in Pipkin I/II femoral head fractures.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 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
backgroundPipkin I/II type femoral head fractures are rare injuries in which it can be difficult to achieve stable anatomical reduction of the inferomedial fragment. In some cases, the medial synovial fold and the medial retinaculum act as soft tissue tensor, limiting the mobilisation of the fragments and increasing the risk of vascular injury during reduction.
objectivesThis technical note describes a periosteal flap manoeuvre designed to release tension on the medial retinaculum while preserving its vascular contribution, thereby facilitating controlled reduction of inferomedial fragments in Pipkin I/II fractures.
conclusionThe technique described allows for safe mobilisation of the retinaculum complex and effortless reduction of the fragment without aggressive dissection. This manoeuvre may be a useful adjunct when standard reduction methods fail.
