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

purposeThe outcomes of bipolar hemiarthoplasty for osteonecrosis of femoral head have been disappointing due to cartilage degeneration and osteolysis. We investigated the cartilage degeneration, joint motion, and factors associated with osteolysis.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 134 bipolar hemiarthroplasties. The wear rate of acetabular cartilage was calculated. The ranges of motion of outer bearing and inner bearing were determined, and the ratio (O/I ratio) was calculated.

resultsThe mean degeneration rate of acetabular cartilage was 0.34 ± 0.35 mm/year. We could observe that the outer bearing motion was dominant, but decreased over time. In addition, the degeneration rate of cartilage and the decline rate of outer bearing motion of the osteolysis group were significantly higher than those of the control group.

conclusionsClose observation is needed in cases of high degeneration rate of cartilage and rapid decline of outer bearing motion due to possibility of osteolysis.
