Acute revision hip arthroplasty: a previously unrecognized risk factor for heterotopic ossification.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 aim of this retrospective review was to determine the incidence and severity of heterotrophic ossification (HO) following acute revision total hip arthroplasty (THA), and whether this represents a significant risk factor for HO that should be treated prophylactically. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of seven patients (three men and four women) with a mean age of 55 years (39-70 years) who underwent a reoperation of their THA for any reason that required a hip arthrotomy within 3 weeks of their primary or revision THA were included, with a mean follow-up of 8.8 years (2-12 years). All patients were evaluated radiographically for any evidence of HO and clinically using the Harris Hip Score.
resultsAll seven hips (100 %) developed HO, with 71 % being severe (Brooker III and IV HO). One hip (14 %) developed Brooker IV HO, four hips (57 %) developed Brooker III HO, and two hips (29 %) developed Brooker II HO. The patient's range of motion varied, but was very limited in three patients. Three patients (42.8 %) were not satisfied with their surgery; one patient had Brooker IV HO, and two patients had Brooker III HO.
conclusionAcute reoperation after primary or revision THA is a significant risk factor for the development of extensive HO, which requires prophylactic treatment.
