Total hip arthroplasty for vascular necrosis of the femoral head in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a midterm follow-up study of 28 hips in 24 patients.

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
objectiveAvascular necrosis of the femoral head is one of the most frequently reported complications in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and often requires total hip arthroplasty (THA). Our objective was to analyze the perioperative management, technical problems, clinical outcomes, and complications associated with THA in patients with SLE.
methodsA total of 28 total hip arthroplasties performed for 24 patients with SLE, including 19 women and 5 men with a mean age of 38.8 years performed from 1998 to 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. SLE disease activity index and ASA class were evaluated preoperatively. WOMAC, HHS, and SF-36 scores were also evaluated in all cases pre- and post-operatively for functional recovery of the hip and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
resultsThe average SLE disease activity index was 3.5 points. Three patients were in ASA class I, 12 class II, and 9 were class III (37.5%). The average duration of follow-up was 67.5 months. None of the patients required a revision, and 3 patients died during the follow-up period. A statistically significant improvement in all scores was found comparing pre- and post-operative conditions (P < 0.001). The complication rate was 11.1% with 2 wound infections and 1 urinary tract infection.
conclusionTHA is an acceptable method for achieving functional recovery and increasing HRQOL in patients with SLE and ANFH who receive proper perioperative management.
