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

backgroundThe Oxford hip score (OHS) is commonly reported in research studies as a reflection of pain and function but it is unclear whether it predicts subsequent prosthesis failure. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We determined whether OHS obtained at 6 months and 5 years after surgery predicts risk of revision within the subsequent 2 years.

methodsWe reviewed data from the New Zealand Joint Registry between January 1999 and December 2010. OHS at 6 months was available for 17,831 total hip patients. Patients were separated into four categories based on their OHS: 10,458 (59%) scored 42-48, 4726 (26%) scored 34-41, 1592 (9%) scored 27-33, and 1028 (6%) scored 0-26. Five-year OHSs were available for 3665 patients. Of these patients, 2619 (72%) scored 42-48, 657 (18%) scored 34-41, 225 (6%) scored 27-33, and 164 (4%) scored 0-26.

resultsFor patients with a 6-month OHS, revision risk within 2 years was 0.4% in the 42-48 group, 1.0% in the 34-41 group, 1.7% in the 27-33 group, and 6.2% in the 0-27 group. For patients with 5-year OHS, revision risk within 2 years was 0.3%, 1.1%, 3.6%, and 6.1%, respectively. Increase in revision risk for the 0-27 versus the 42-48 OHS group was 15-fold at 6 months and 18-fold at 5 years.

conclusionsOur data suggest patients with an OHS of 42-48 at 6 months need a 5-year postoperative appointment. Those patients with a 5-year OHS of 42-48 need not be followed up for a further 5 years.
