Atypical femoral fractures: a review of the literature.
Review in Current osteoporosis reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Bisphosphonates are the most commonly used drugs worldwide for treating osteoporosis. Atypical femoral fractures most commonly are associated with prolonged bisphosphonate use. They also may occur with denosumab use or in patients without a history of using these drugs. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of the mechanism of action of bisphosphonate and the definition, incidence, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, management, and prevention of atypical femoral fractures.
