Polyethylene and highly cross-linked polyethylene for cemented total hip arthroplasty: A comparison of over ten-year clinical and radiographic results.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionWe investigated the long-term tribological outcomes of conventional polyethylene (CPE) and highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE).
methodsNinety-four consecutive primary cemented THAs were performed using either HXLPE or CPE at our hospital. CPE sockets were used in 26 hips, and HXLPE sockets were implanted in 68 hips.
resultsA 10-year follow-up was completed for 69 cases. Linear wear rates of 0.138 ± 0.074 mm/year for CPE and 0.011 ± 0.020 mm/year for HXLPE were calculated. Osteolysis was identified in 10 cases (CPE group, 7; HXLPE group, 3).
conclusionHXLPE had significantly less wear than CPE, and polyethylene wear was associated with osteolysis.
