Non-contemporaneous bilateral stem fractures occurring after staged bilateral hip revision using extensively porous-coated cylindrical femoral stems: a case report.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDistally fixed cylindrical femoral stems extensively coated with porous materials are widely used in revision and total hip arthroplasty surgeries. Stem fracture is an uncommon complication; few case reports have been published. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 51-year-old male exhibiting extensively porous-coated cylindrical femoral stems fracture after staged bilateral hip revision. His body mass index was 24.22 kg/m
conclusionsCertain patients are at high risk of non-contemporaneous, bilateral femoral stem fractures. It remains unclear whether fracture of the contralateral femoral stem is an inevitable fatigue fracture or reflects the increased weight imposed on the contralateral hip after the first revision. We recommend that a strut bone graft be placed to support the proximal bone, and that non-modular tapered femoral stems be employed in such patients.
