1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate our single-centre one- and five-year results of anatomically correct cementless total hip arthroplasty in unilateral and bilateral Crowe type IV high hip dislocations in ten hips following iliofemoral monotube soft tissue distraction. Six consecutive patients (five females and one male) with unilateral and two female patients with bilateral high hip dislocation with an average age of 46 years and height of dislocation up to 110 mm were treated in our institution. Limb lengthening was achieved up to 100 mm. The mean leg-length-discrepancy was -4 mm postoperatively. Harris hip score increased significantly at one year (p < 0.001) and significantly further (p < 0.05) at five years postoperative. WOMAC, VAS pain scale as well as gait and pain-free walking distance also improved significantly at follow-up. Two pin infections and one temporary peroneal nerve palsy occurred during monotube extension. Three cup protrusions that required revision surgery were observed in two patients. This study shows that iliofemoral distraction prior to total hip replacement achieves leg length equality and improved gluteal function and therefore gait in patients with Crowe type IV hip dislocation.
