Curettage of lesion combined with reconstruction of intramedullary nail and bone cement for the treatment of subtrochanteric metastatic tumors of the femur.

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 study investigated subtrochanteric femoral metastases using a retrospective approach by analyzing data from 109 patients with bone metastases (2015-2019). Surgical methods were compared: curettage with intramedullary nail and bone cement versus prosthetic reconstruction. Post-surgical assessments included joint function, bone metastasis-related serum markers, and complications. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen independent risk factors affecting patients' prognosis. R language was used to construct a nomogram model for predicting patients' 1- and 2-year survival, which was validated through ROC curves and the calibration chart. Patients treated with curettage showed superior postoperative outcomes, exhibiting significantly higher Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) scores (80.00
