Trunnion corrosion: what surgeons need to know in 2018.
Synthesis in The bone & joint journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04585022 (Whole Blood Metal Ion Concentrations in Metal-on-metal Total Hip Arthroplasty and Hip Resurfacing - A Randomized Controlled Trial With 5-years Follow up Including 75 Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 33 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.

Abstract
aimsTo present a surgically relevant update of trunnionosis. MATERIALS AND
methodsSystematic review performed April 2017.
resultsTrunnionosis accounts for approximately 2% of the revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) burden. Thinner (reduced flexural rigidity) and shorter trunnions (reduced contact area at the taper junction) may contribute to mechanically assisted corrosion, exacerbated by high offset implants. The contribution of large heads and mixed metallurgy is discussed.
conclusionIdentifying causative risk factors is challenging due to the multifactorial nature of this problem. Cite this article:
