Intrapelvic Neck Screw Migration after Trochanteric Fixation Nail Advanced Fixation of a Trochanteric Femoral Fracture: A Case Report and Proposed Treatment Algorithm.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Although rare, mechanical failure of fixation in trochanteric fractures can lead to significant morbidity, particularly when medial migration of the cephalic screw occurs, posing a serious risk of life-threatening injury to intrapelvic vascular and visceral structures. Case Report: We report a case of severe intrapelvic migration of a cephalic screw in a 79-year-old patient following short trochanteric fixation nail advanced fixation for an unstable trochanteric fracture (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen/Orthopaedic Trauma Association 31-A2). The patient presented with acute mechanical failure, pain, and severe agitation. Urgent surgical intervention was performed, consisting of hardware removal and single-stage conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a dual-mobility construct. This multidisciplinary strategy successfully resolved the intrapelvic risk, provided stable joint reconstruction, and allowed for immediate full weight-bearing and early mobilization. Conclusion: Intrapelvic screw migration requires prompt recognition and urgent surgical intervention with multidisciplinary preparation. Single-stage conversion to dual-mobility THA may provide a salvage procedure that mitigates visceral/vascular risks and enables early functional recovery in frail elderly patients.
