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

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective and durable treatment option for hip osteoarthritis (OA). As life expectancy continues to increase, so too will the demand for joint arthroplasty in the 10th decade of life, frequently in cases involving osteoarthritis of both hips. Simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty (SBTHA) is a valuable therapeutic option in appropriately selected patients with bilateral degenerative hip disease, although its use in the very elderly is poorly reported on in the literature. A case of bilateral hip OA successfully treated with SBTHA in a nonagenarian is presented and the literature is reviewed.
