Total hip arthroplasty-related osteogenic osteosarcoma: case report and review of the literature.
Review in European journal of medical research, 2016. 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
backgroundOrthopedic implant-related sarcoma is an exceedingly rare, but a known complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). CASE PRESENTATION: The authors describe clinical and radiologic features, histologic appearance, and treatment of osteogenic osteosarcoma located in the proximal femoral diaphysis associated with an unstable femoral prosthesis following THA in a 65-year-old male patient. The patient with HLA-B27 positive ankylosing spondylitis underwent arthroplasty 15 years ago.
conclusionsThe neoplastic process may be considered as an extraordinary complication of THA and might just be coincidental or the result of some derangement of the healing process in host tissue with no definitely proven hypothesis that the implants or their by-products are carcinogenic. The soluble chemical substances from the implanted prosthetic material are, at least in animals, suspected to play a vital role in the pathogenesis of the neoplastic transformation of the bone tissue. The presented case shall alert orthopedic surgeons to clinical, radiologic, and macroscopic similarities between a malignant tumor and benign lesions caused by wear debris at THA sites. At the examination of plane X-rays of patients with THA loosening, the differential diagnosis should always include osteogenic sarcoma, as well. To our knowledge, there have been only nine cases of THA-related osteogenic osteosarcomas described in the English-language literature.
