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
Navigation in primary total hip arthroplasty has a history of over 20 years. During this process, imageless computer navigation can be particularly helpful in optimally restoring the hip's biomechanics. This involves the accurate placement of the acetabular component with the determination of the anteversion and abduction, whereby the navigated femur-first technique also allows for a calculation of the combined anteversion. Additional critical parameters such as the reconstruction of the rotation centre, as well as the femoral and acetabular offset, can also be optimally adjusted. Last but not least, an intra-operative evaluation and equalisation of the leg length is possible.Nonetheless, the disadvantages of this surgical technique in terms of the high costs in the acquisition and preservation of the necessary devices, as well as the longer operation time, must be taken into account. However, economic aspects are not the only thing preventing widespread use of the navigation technique. Determining the plane of reference (APP) for the optimal orientation of the implants is based on palpation of the bony landmarks - and this is influenced by the thickness of the soft tissue layer. Furthermore, the experience of the surgeon constitutes a variable that influences the accuracy of navigation.In summary, hip navigation certainly offers an interesting technique for the optimisation of total hip arthroplasty with reconstruction of proper biomechanics. At the same time, there is currently a lack of high-quality randomised controlled long-term trials that evaluate the clinical advantage for the patients, together with cost utility and survival rates.
