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

Austin-Moore hemiarthroplasty (HA) had been selectively used for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures. With increasing life span and activity, the sequela of Austin-Moore HA make the implant no longer favorable. The treatment of failed Austin-Moore HA with advanced acetabular erosion is challenging; however, little has been published regarding this topic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid-term results of using cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) in octogenarians. Between 2008 and 2011, 47 patients (32 women and 15 men) with an average age of 86 years (range 83-89 years) were enrolled in this retrospective study. After an average follow-up period of 6.2 years (range 5.0-7.8 years), no migration or loosening of the cup or femoral stem was found. Harris hip scores improved from 36 (range 15-42) preoperatively to 87 (range 80-90). There were no complications directly associated with the procedure except for superficial infections in two patients. Our results suggest that using cementless THA can result in favorable radiographic and clinical outcomes in octogenarian patients.
