Posterior versus direct anterior approach in total hip arthroplasty: difference in patient-reported outcomes measured with the Forgotten Joint Score-12.
Article in SICOT-J, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03825029 (Can the Difference Between the Operative and Radiographic Cup Inclination Angle Be Reduced by Applying a Pillow Between the Patient's Legs in Total Hip Arthroplasty Performed In The Lateral Decubitus Position?), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
introductionWhen the postoperative outcome of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) was compared with the direct anterior approach (DAA) and the posterior approach (PA), there was no significant difference of the clinical outcome at 6 months to 1 year after surgery in many studies. This study was performed to compare the medium-term outcome of THA via the DAA or PA and clarify which approach achieves better quality of life (QOL).
methodsWe investigated 61 hips receiving primary THA (30 via DAA and 31 via PA), using hip function scores such as the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and patient-reported outcomes such as the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ), and the Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS).
resultsThe mean duration of postoperative follow-up was 36.8 months in the DAA group and 40.5 months in the PA group. There was no difference in preoperative or postoperative HHS between the two groups. Although there was no difference of postoperative WOMAC and JHEQ, the postoperative FJS-12 score was significantly higher in the DAA group than in the PA group (75.2 ± 15.9 versus 60.1 ± 24.4, p = 0.01).
conclusionWhen forgetting the artificial joint in daily life is the target, better QOL can be achieved by performing THA via the DAA.
