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

purposeThe hypothesis of this study was that femoral implant migration would not differ between simultaneous bilateral or unilateral short-stem THA.

methodImplant migration of 202 femoral short-stems (100 unilateral and 102 one-stage bilateral cases) in 151 patients was assessed by "Ein-Bild-Roentgen-Analysis Femoral-Component-Analysis" in a two years follow-up (2.0-3.0 years). Migration patterns of unilateral and simultaneous cases were analysed and compared.

resultsThere was no difference between the two groups regarding age, body mass index and gender. After two years mean subsidence of all 202 implants was 1.43 mm (-6.5 mm to 2.0 mm). After initial subsidence of 0.37 mm per month within the first six weeks, the mean monthly migration was reduced to 0.02 mm between one and two years post-operative. There was no statistical difference in mean migration between unilateral (1.34 mm) and simultaneous bilateral (1.51 mm) THA (p = 0.33).

conclusionIn summary, two years post-operative there was no difference in the amount of mean implant subsidence between unilateral compared to simultaneous bilateral short-stem THA. This suggests that regarding implant fixation simultaneous bilateral short-stem THA is as safe and successful as a solely unilateral intervention.
