Mid-term outcomes of titanium modular neck femoral stems in revision total hip arthroplasty.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundModular stems have been widely studied as they allow intraoperative adjustments (offset, anteversion, limb length) to better restore hip biomechanics. Many authors reported outcomes of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) using modular stems with metaphyseal-diaphyseal junctions, however, little is known about modular neck femoral stems (MNFS) with metaphyseal-epiphyseal junctions. We therefore aimed to report outcomes and implant survival of a MNFS in a consecutive series of revision THA at a minimum follow-up of 5 years.
methodsWe reviewed a consecutive series of 28 revision THAs performed between February 2010 and March 2012 using an uncemented MNFS. The final study cohort included 25 patients living with their original components, at a mean follow-up of 68.4±7.4 months and aged 67.7±11.6 years at index operation.
resultsThe Harris Hip Score (HHS) improved from 39.1±19.2 pre-operatively to 78.1±18.3 post-operatively, and the Postel Merle d'Aubigné score (PMA) improved from 9.8±3.0 pre-operatively to 14.8±2.8 post-operatively. The postoperative limb length discrepancy (LLD) was >10 mm in 18% of the hips. There were no significant differences of femoral offset and neck shaft angle (NSA) between operated and contralateral hips. Two hips (8.0%) showed new periprosthetic radiolucent lines. Periprosthetic fractures (PPF) occurred in 3 hips (12%). No subluxations, dislocations or implant breakages were reported. One revision (3.6%) was performed with retrieval of the revision stem for infection. The Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival at 5 years, using stem revision as endpoint, was 96.0%.
