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

introductionBoth ASR hip resurfacings and stemmed ASR XL arthroplasties have failed at high rates in several published series. We assessed a single surgeon series of these arthroplasties looking to identify factors associated with their failure.

methodsAll surgeries were performed by one surgeon. Patients were evaluated clinically, radiologically and with serial cobalt and chromium ion analysis.

results274 implants were analysed - 152 ASR resurfacings and 122 ASR XL implants. Thirty revisions were performed.

conclusionThe failure rate of the ASR implant in our series is unacceptably high - its use in routine hip arthroplasty cannot be supported.
