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

objectivesTo compare the outcomes of cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty for treating displaced femoral neck fractures.

methodWe searched the PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Google Scholar databases from 1966 to Mar 2012. No language restriction was applied. Reference lists of all the selected articles were hand-searched for any additional trials. Trial quality was assessed using the modified Jadad Scale. Two authors independently extracted data from all eligible studies, including study design, participants, interventions, and outcomes (mortality, hospital stay, blood loss, operation time, residual pain, and complications). The data were using fixed-effects and random-effects models with mean differences and risk ratios for continuous and dichotomous variables, respectively.

resultsA total of 12 studies involving 1805 patients were identified in this analysis. Meta-analysis showed longer operation time (SMD, -0.43, 95 % CI -0.56, -0.30) in cemented versus uncemented hemiarthroplasty. There was no significant difference between the two treatment groups regarding mortality (OR, 1.08, 95 % CI 0.88, 1.34), hospital stay (SMD, -1.21, 95 % CI -2.24, -0.18), blood loss (SMD, -0.12, 95 % CI -0.33, 0.10), operation time (SMD, -0.43, 95 % CI -0.56, -0.30), residual pain (OR, 1.42, 95 % CI 0.99, 2.03), and complications (OR, 0.82, 95 % CI 0.63, 1.08).

conclusionsThe available evidence suggested there was no significant difference between uncemented and cemented hemiarthroplasty in treating displaced femoral neck fractures.
