Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Simultaneous, Bilateral, Atypical Femoral Shaft Fractures After Nine Years of Bisphosphonate Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 generally used to treat osteoporosis and decrease the risk of femoral neck and vertebral fractures in patients with osteoporosis. Recently, it has been suggested that long-term bisphosphonate use can lead to decreased bone remodeling and an increased risk of atypical fractures. Atypical fractures often occur in the femur. The purpose of the present report is to describe a rare case of simultaneous, bilateral, atypical femoral fractures. An 80-year-old female was walking when she sustained bilateral femoral fractures that were diagnosed as atypical. The patient had received bisphosphonate treatment over the prior nine years.
