1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Systemic cobaltism is a debilitating complication of metal-on-metal (MoM) arthroplasty. In this report, we review a case of a 54-year-old female with metallosis from a MoM hip resurfacing and varying degrees of black discoloration of her tongue and metallic gustation as a result of systemic cobaltism. After explanting the metal components, thorough debridement, and conversion to ceramic-on-polyethylene arthroplasty, the patient's oral mucosal discoloration and metallic gustation resolved. This represents the first documentation of systemic cobaltism from MoM hip resurfacing manifesting as oral mucosal discoloration and metallic gustation with resolution after explant, debridement, and conversion to ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty.
