Total Hip Arthroplasty Using Ceramic-on-ceramic Bearing Surfaces: Long-term Assessment of Squeaking Sounds.
Article in Hip & pelvis, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThis study was performed to characterize the natural history of squeaking sounds that occur following total hip arthroplasty (THA) using ceramic-on-ceramic bearing surfaces and its potential correlation with clinical and/or radiological results. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study included 47 patients who underwent THA between April 1999 and April 2005, and had at least 10 years of follow up from the time of the operation. Squeaking sounds were detected in 10 out of the 47 cases (21.3%). Squeaking-associated factors (i.e., cause, time of onset, inducing motions, and continuity of the sound) were assessed.
resultsSqueaking sounds: i) were detected an average of 46.2 months after operation, ii) occurred more frequently in patients with a high body mass index (BMI) compared to those with low BMI, and iii) most frequently detected when deep flexion of hip joint followed extension. In all 10 cases, the squeaking sound remained through the follow up period; 6 cases experienced no change in frequency and pitch, 4 cases experienced a decrease in frequency and pitch over time. The cause(s) of changes to squeaking sounds could not be determined.
conclusionThe frequency and pitch of the squeaking sounds changed over time in a subset of patients. The squeaking sound did not appear to correlate with clinical results or survival of the prosthesis.
