Low femoral antetorsion and total hip arthroplasty: a risk factor.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate whether femoral antetorsion affects the range of motion (ROM) following total hip arthroplasty (THA) using 3D dynamic analysis.
methodsUsing 3D computed tomography (CT) data of 71 patients (71 hips) who underwent THA, we calculated antetorsion of the femoral neck, flexion range of motion (Flex ROM), internal rotation (Int-R) and external rotation (Ext-R). Evaluation of the relationship between antetorsion, ROM and the impingement site was performed. As for implant position, anteversion of the femoral implant was set to be the same as natural antetorsion of the femoral neck, and the acetabular component was set 45° of total anteversion in all cases.
resultsWe found a significant decrease in Flex ROM and Int-R inversely proportional to femoral antetorsion. In patients with lower antetorsion, Flex ROM and Int-R decreased due to bony impingement (the anterior great trochanteric region of the femur impinges on the anteroinferior edge of the anteroinferior iliac spine). However, in Ext-R, there was no relationship between ROM and femoral antetorsion.
conclusionsWe demonstrated that lower femoral antetorsion substantially affects Flex ROM and Int-R due to bony impingement. For these patients, consideration must be given to retaining femoral anterior offset in THA.
