Superior rim fracture of a vitamin E-infused highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) liner leading to total hip arthroplasty revision.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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
This case report looks at the failure of a vitamin E-infused highly cross-linked polyethylene acetabular liner that fractured at the superior rim of the locking mechanism. This calls to question whether there is a problem with the vitamin E-infused product or a flaw in the design of the liner or possibly a combination of the 2. Although there has been discussion of a possible minimum rim polyethylene thickness, there has not been a minimum thickness established. In addition, in the case of offset liners, indentations which are a part of a locking mechanism can cause the minimum rim dimension to be much less than the specified nominal thickness. This case serves as an interesting observation and contributes to the discussion of rim liner polyethylene thickness and minimum rim thickness.
