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 aim of our study is to evaluate long-term outcomes from a cohort of patients treated with collum femoris preserving (CFP) stem correlating neck resorption with comorbidities, clinical outcomes, and complications.

methodsOne hundred seventy-six patients (194 hips) were retrospectively reviewed with a minimum follow-up (f.u.) of ten years. Demographic and surgical data were collected. Clinical and radiological evaluation was performed at the last follow up. We calculated a neck resorption ratio (NRR) for each patient. Main complications were recorded. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant.

resultsThe mean Harris hip score (HHS) was 89.1 ± 5.7. The mean visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oxford hip score (OHS) values were 1.1 ± 1 and 41.3 ± 5.1, respectively. The mean leg length discrepancy was 1.5 mm ± 1.9. The mean NRR was 0.35. We observed six cases of aseptic loosening, two cases of infection, one implant revision for recurrent dislocation, and one stem revision after periprosthetic femoral fracture. The overall survival rate of the stem was 94.8%. Statistically significant associations were found between NRR and steroid therapy/stem malposition. Correlation between aseptic loosening and NRR was also statistically significant. Correlations between NRR and HHS/OHS were -0.34 and -0.28 respectively. Odds ratio for aseptic loosening were: 4.6 if NRR > 0.25; 16.9 if > 0.50 and 24.1 if > 0.75.

conclusionCFP hip stem provided excellent long-term outcomes. NRR is correlated to steroid therapy and stem malposition. The risk of stem aseptic loosening rises according to NRR increase. Patients with an NRR > 0.5, especially if under steroid therapy or with stem malposition, should be strictly monitored.
