Improvement of activities of daily living after total hip arthroplasty using a computed tomography-based navigation system.

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
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome improvements after total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) in patients who underwent THA with a navigation system in our institutions. The subjects were 219 patients. All patients had adequate data to allow complete scoring of the WOMAC for a 1-year postoperative follow-up. CT-based navigation was used in all THAs. Postoperatively, no restrictions were imposed on patients' ADL. One year after surgery, the average WOMAC pain subscale score was 1.8 ± 2.9, the stiffness subscale score was 1.1 ± 1.6, and the physical function subscale score was 7.5 ± 11.6 points. The number of patients whose score for the WOMAC physical function score was 0 points was 61 (27.9%). A lower WOMAC score usually represents a better status. In some of the most difficult functions, such as ascending stairs, bending to the floor, putting on socks/stockings, and heavy domestic duties, the scores tended to be higher than the other scores postoperatively. These results show that THA using navigation can improve patients' postoperative QOL.
