Review in Der Orthopade, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

aimThis article presents an analysis and review of recent literature with a focus on clinical results after minimally invasive (MIS) total hip arthroplasty (THA) and with special attention to the different approaches currently used.

methodsAn online database (Medline) search for clinical trials after THA between 2007 and 2011 was performed with a special focus on prospective controlled randomized trials focusing on THA with a MIS approach. The data were analyzed for pain, blood loss, complications, gait analysis, Harris hip and other scores.

resultsA total of 24 studies (19 comparative studies) were included in this study with a total of 801 MIS THA cases and 695 conventionally operated hips. Almost every study showed superior results for the MIS group with respect to postoperative pain, blood loss and rehabilitation but these advantages almost totally disappeared after 3-6 months. The complication rate was comparable in both groups. After 3-6 months the clinical scores, such as the Harris hip score did not show any differences between conventional and MIS groups.

conclusionsIn this present study all MIS approaches showed advantages over the conventional surgical approach but these benefits disappeared after 3-6 months. With comparable risks for complications, MIS surgical approaches are superior in the early postoperative phase and rehabilitation.
