Validity and reliability of preoperative templating in total hip arthroplasty using a digital templating system.
Trial report in Skeletal radiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02275494 (The Influence of Leg Length Discrepancy After Total Hip Arthroplasty on Function and Quality of Life), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 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.

Abstract
objectivesTo evaluate the validity, interobserver reliability, and intraobserver reproducibility of a digital templating system, the Mdesk™ in preoperative templating in cemented and reverse hybrid total hip arthroplasty (THA). MATERIALS AND
methodsValidity was evaluated by comparing the planned cup size, stem size, CCD angles, and neck length with the components used in 129 patients operated with cemented and reverse hybrid THA. The reliability was measured by comparing the templating results of two surgeons with each other (interobserver) and the results of two templatings carried out by first surgeon (intraobserver). The leg length discrepancy was measured before and after the operation to assess the templating ability to correct it.
resultsThe Mdesk™ system showed good validity (kappa value ranged from 0.64 to 0.96), especially when one size over and under the planned size were included. No difference between cemented and cementless stems was found. The interobserver reliability ranged from fair (kappa 0.23) to substantial (kappa 0.61) while the intraobserver reproducibility ranged from substantial (kappa 0.70) to excellent (kappa 0.82). Templating and intraoperative measures succeeded to restore the leg length.
conclusionsThe Mdesk™ system has comparable validity and reliability with other templating systems used in clinical practice. We recommend that the same surgeon who does the preoperative radiographic templating to also perform the operation. Further studies are required to evaluate the results of succeeded templating in the long run.
