Liner dissociation leading to catastrophic failure of an Oxinium femoral head.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Oxinium is an alternative bearing surface designed to emulate the superior wear and scratch properties of ceramic femoral heads in total hip arthroplasty while minimizing the risk for brittle fracturing. However, recent studies have indicated that hip dislocation following total hip arthroplasty may be a risk factor for catastrophic failure of the femoral head. Here, we report on a novel case of a catastrophic Oxinium head and polyethylene liner failure in the absence of previous hip dislocation or trauma and review the probable failure mechanism. This report underscores the need to be vigilant about proper acetabular cup and liner seating, particularly in the setting of Oxinium femoral head use. In the event of Oxinium head failure, metallosis may compromise stabilizing soft tissues including the abductors. Dual-mobility articulation, which was successful in this case, is one option to consider when the risk for chronic redislocation is elevated.
