Management of Paprosky type three B acetabular defects by custom-made components: early results.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
purposeOur study aims at the evaluation of the recently introduced Lima Promade custom-made acetabular device for the treatment of complex acetabular Paprosky 3B defects.
methodsBetween 2016 and 2018, eight patients with major acetabular osteolysis and multiple revisions history were treated with a custom-made implant in a single centre and by a single surgeon. We assessed patients' demographics, peri-operative data, and complications and a specific questionnaire was submitted to the surgeon after each procedure.
resultsAll the devices were correctly positioned. In two over eight cases, a post-operative dislocation occurred, where extensive soft tissue impairment was present. The questionnaire showed a good pre-operative and intra-operative experience of the surgeon.
conclusionsThe Promade custom-made acetabular system showed encouraging results for complex defects and the entire procedure was positively rated. Further analysis with a higher number of cases and a longer follow-up should be performed for a complete clinical and cost-effective evaluation.
