Function and activity after minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty compared to a healthy population.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06057428 (Activity Levels Amongst Elderly Patients With Symptomatic Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Before and After Decompressive Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of the present study was to compare the daily activity and functionality in a patient cohort 12 months after total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a direct anterior approach with a healthy non-operated control population.
methodsSixty-four patients who underwent THA and 59 healthy individuals (control) were assessed regarding their daily activity and joint functionality utilizing the Harris hip score (HHS), the extra short musculoskeletal functional assessment questionnaire (XSFMA), the Short Form 36 (SF-36) health survey and a Stepwatch™ Activity Monitor (SAM). Post-operative x-ray images after THA were analysed regarding inclination and stem positioning.
resultsTwelve months after surgery, the average HHS showed no significant difference between both groups equalling 90.7 points in the THA patient group and 90.8 in the healthy volunteer group. The XSFMA functional index scores were 11.0 (THA) and 5.0 (control) while the bother index summed up to a score of 15.3 (THA) and 7.6 (control) respectively thus differing significantly (p < 0.001). Daily activity equalled 4227 (THA) and 4687 (control) load cycles per day (p = 0.327) while a number of 5658 (THA) and 6417 (control) steps per day (p = 0.011) was recorded. The SF-36 physical component scores were 47.3 (THA) and 50.6 (control) points while the psychometric properties added up to a score of 56.1 (THA) and 55.9 (control). The physical component was determined to be significantly different (p < 0.001) whereas no statistically significant difference could be shown for the psychometric properties (p = 0.511). The radiographic analysis revealed an average cup inclination of 39.9° without signs of migration. Stem positioning was neutral in 53% of all cases while 36% were graded varus and 11% valgus.
conclusionIn summary, our short-term results show an activity, functionality and quality of life for patients one year after THA comparable to healthy control individuals.
