Neglected Ipsilateral Non-Union Neck of Femur with Shaft of Femur Non-Union in A Young Patient and Its Management - A Rare Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2024. 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: The incidence of ipsilateral neck of femur fracture with the shaft of femur going for non-union is not known. Management of this concomitant non-union can be a daunting task in terms of fixation strategy and its outcome. Case Report: In this article, we report a case of a 25-year-old male with ipsilateral neck of femur with shaft non-union. We have done open reduction and dual plating with bone grafting for the shaft of the femur followed by valgus subtrochanteric osteotomy with dynamic hip screw and impaction bone grafting for the neck of femur non-union. Conclusion: The main principle in treating the neck of femur non-union is biomechanical correction of shear forces into compression forces by valgus correction and impaction bone grafting aids fracture healing. Dual plating with bone grafting gives optimal results in shaft non-union.
