[MRI-based measurement of muscle damage after minimally invasive hip arthroplasty].
Trial report in Der Orthopade, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Muscle trauma in minimally invasive hip arthroplasty using a direct anterior approach was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 25 patients preoperatively, as well as 6 months after total hip replacement. The MRI evaluation included the measurement of changes in muscle cross-sectional area (CSA = atrophy) and fatty infiltration of the muscles. Using MRI, preoperatively existing and operatively caused muscle tissue damage could be detected by assessing changes in muscle CSA and fatty infiltration. Even preoperatively, a muscular atrophy and fatty infiltration could be demonstrated in the diseased hip. Using the minimally invasive direct anterior approach, a postoperative significantly reduced CSA and significantly increased fatty degeneration was detected for the M. tensor fasciae latae and the M. glutaeus minimus. No increased damage of the M. glutaeus medius could be detected.
