Asymptomatic intraprosthetic dual mobility cup dislocation with increased metal ion levels.
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 12 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
With the increased use of dual-mobility cups (DMCs) in total-and revision hip arthroplasties, surgeons can expect an increase of known and new complications. During routine follow-up, we observed an asymptomatic patient with an intraprosthetic-dislocation (IPD) and elevated levels of serum metal ions (1.8 ppb of cobalt and 28.0 ppb of chromium). Revision surgery was inevitable. Perioperative metallosis and severe wear of the metal shell and metal femoral head supported the IPD. Literature showed that the modularity of the DMC can result in increased serum metal ions, create excessive wear, and possibly affect implant survival. Our case and review of the literature may form an argument not to consider DMC for primary cases. Furthermore, we advise yearly clinical and radiological follow-up and, on indication, metal ion testing for DMCs.
