Review in Der Orthopade, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundCarefully and correctly implanted components are the prerequisite for the lifespan of a prosthesis. Whether higher levels of activity lead to prior failure of total hip arthroplasty in young patients is controversially discussed. The right choice of bearings is still of great relevance. BEARINGS: Ceramic-on-ceramic as well as polyethylene-on-ceramic bearings achieve comparable results, although ceramic-on-ceramic bearings should be avoided in patients with high demands on their range of motion. Polyethylene-on-metal bearings also show good clinical results, if corrosion between head and stem is absent. Metal-on-metal bearings lead to adverse systemic effects due to metal wear and should be implanted in individual cases only, e. g. as hip resurfacing. Alternative bearings have to give proof of effectivity first. Custom-made prostheses constitute an option for young patients with special conditions of hip anatomy. Planning and study results of these prostheses are elucidated in this review article.
