Arthroplasty for femoral neck fracture of the elderly: a narrative review.
Review in EFORT open reviews, 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
This review provides an up-to-date, focused, and evidence-based treatment strategy addressing the ongoing debates in the literature surrounding arthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly. Every effort should be made to perform surgery within 24-36 h of admission. After-hours surgery may be performed safely when an experienced team and adequate resources are available; if not, postponing to daytime hours to optimize surgical conditions is reasonable. While pre-fracture mobility, independence, and comorbidity are relevant in treatment planning, current high-level evidence does not support a consistent clinical benefit of total hip arthroplasty over hemiarthroplasty, even in selected, higher-functioning patients. Given the substantially increased risk of periprosthetic fracture associated with cementless fixation, cemented stems should be preferred in elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures.
