The Cox model is better than the Fine and Gray model when estimating relative revision risks from arthroplasty register data.
Article in Acta orthopaedica, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
Background and purpose - Analysis of the revision-free survival of knee and hip prostheses has traditionally been performed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression. The competing risk problem that is related to patients who die during follow-up has recently been increasingly discussed, not least with regard to the problem of choosing a suitable statistical method for the analysis. We compared the results from analyses of Cox models and Fine and Gray models. Methods - We used data simulation based on parameter estimates from the Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register and assessed hypothetical effects of the studied risk factors. Results - The Cox model provided more adequate results. Interpretation - The parameter estimates from the Fine and Gray model can be misleading if interpreted in terms of relative risk.
