The accuracy of digital templating: a comparison of short-stem total hip arthroplasty and conventional total hip arthroplasty.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
purposeSelection of the correct femoral stem size is crucial in total hip arthroplasty for an uncomplicated implantation and good initial stability. Pre-operative templating has been shown to be a valuable tool in predicting the correct implant size. For short-stem total hip arthroplasty (SHA), which recently is increasingly used, it is unknown if templating can be performed as reliable as conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA).
methodsA total of 100 hip arthroplasties, 50 with SHA and 50 with THA, were templated by four orthopaedic surgeons each. The surgeons had different levels of professional experience and performed a digital template of the acetabular and femoral component on the pre-operative radiographs. The results were compared with the truly inserted implant size.
resultsFor the femoral stems the average percentage of agreement (± 1 size) was 89.0 % in SHA and 88.5 % in THA. There was no significant difference among surgeons in the accuracy of templating the correct stem size and no significant difference between templating SHA and THA. For the acetabular component the average percentage of agreement (± 1 size) was 75.8 %. However, the more experienced surgeons showed a significant higher accuracy for templating the correct cup size than the less experienced surgeons.
conclusionDigital templating of SHA can predict the stem sizes as accurately as conventional THA. Therefore digital templating is also recommendable for SHA, as it helps to predict the implant size prior to surgery and thereby might help to avoid complications.
