The effect of fully threaded cannulated screws in sliding fixation of femoral neck fractures: a retrospective study.

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
backgroundThe purpose of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy of fully-threaded cannulated screws (FCS) and partially-threaded cannulated screws (PCS) in femoral neck fractures (FNFs).
methodsThis retrospective study included 141 patients with FNFs treated with cannulated screw internal fixation between January 2019 and December 2023. Based on the implant type, patients were allocated into two groups: the FCS group (n = 61) and the PCS group (n = 80). Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were collected and compared between the two groups, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities and fracture classification. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of postoperative complications at final follow-up, including femoral neck shortening, osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), nonunion, and internal fixation failure. The secondary outcomes included the following measures: the Garden's alignment index and surgical data.
resultsA total of 141 patients with FNF were enrolled in this study, comprising 80 in the PCS group and 61 in the FCS group. The cohort had a mean age of 44.18 ± 12.5 years, with 87 (61.7%) males and 54 (38.3%) females. Based on preoperative imaging, 84 (59.6%) of the fractures were classified as displaced. The FCS group demonstrated significantly lower rates of both ONFH (8.2% vs 21.3%, p = 0.034) and femoral neck shortening (8.2% vs 25%, p = 0.010) compared with the PCS group. No statistically significant differences were observed in nonunion (4.9% vs 6.3%, p = 0.735) or internal fixation failure rates (0% vs 3.8%, p = 0.126). Subgroup analysis demonstrated significantly higher rates of ONFH (22.6% vs 5.3%, p = 0.005) and femoral neck shortening (26.2% vs 5.3%, p = 0.001) in displaced (Garden III-IV) fractures compared with non-displaced fractures, as well as elevated complication rates in Pauwels III fractures versus Pauwels I-II fractures (ONFH: 19.8% vs 5.0%, p = 0.029; femoral neck shortening: 21.8% vs 7.5%, p = 0.045).
conclusionsCompared with conventional PCS, FCS for FNF fixation achieves comparable union rates while showing potential advantages in reducing postoperative complications such as femoral neck shortening and ONFH.
