[Ipsilateral THA after stemmed TKA: Risk of interprosthetic fracture?].
Synthesis in Der Orthopade, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThere is an increasing number of patients who have undergone stemmed total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty in the same leg. These patients may be at increased risk of periprosthetic and interprostethic fracture. Etiology and the potential therapy strategies are not well represented in the current literature.
objectivesDetermination of the risk factors for interprosthetic fractures and possible prevention. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe performed a review of the literature and additionally a survey among experts (members of the German Association for Arthroplasty [AE]) to investigate the risk and the necessity for a preventive internal fixation.
resultsThere are only a few biomechanical studies. The interprosthetic distance seems to have little influence on the fracture risk, but the thickness of the cortex and the cortical area at the diaphysis seems to be important. The value of a bridging osteosynthesis remains uncertain. Ninety experts took part in the survey. The risk of fracture risk was estimated to be only slight to medium. Opinions regarding the necessity of preventive internal fixation were heterogeneous.
conclusionsThe indication for preventive internal fixation could be derived neither from the literature nor from the survey of experts. The thickness of the cortex and co-morbidities (osteoporosis, tendency to fall, and medication) seem to be more important than the interprosthetic distance.
