Highly Porous Titanium Cups versus Hydroxyapatite-Coated Sockets: Midterm Results in Metachronous Bilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty.
Article in Medical principles and practice : international journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveHighly porous titanium cups have been recently introduced, with contradictory outcomes. A retrospective consecutive case series involving bilateral metachronous total hip arthroplasties (THA) performed with 2 different cups, i.e., Fixa (F) and Fixa Ti-Por (T) (Adler Ortho, Milan, Italy), and the same stem, was evaluated. T sockets, manufactured using electron beam melting, were supposed to prove superior in terms of clinical results, survival rates, and radiographic parameters in comparison to hydroxyapatite-coated F cups with conventional porosity. SUBJECTS AND
methodsTwenty-four bilateral metachronous THAs with an F cup on one side and a T socket on the other side were evaluated. Preoperative and postoperative Harris hip scores (HHS) were collected for every patient. Radiographic signs of loosening were assessed. The radiographic signs of osseointegration (radiolucent lines, superolateral buttress, inferomedial buttress, radial trabeculae, and stress shielding) were evaluated.
resultsNo intraoperative complications occurred. The mean HHS score was excellent and comparable in both groups. At the mean follow-up of 134 months (F) and 79 months (T), no cup or liner revisions were performed. No radiographic signs of loosening were reported. All of the patients revealed 3 parameters of good bony ingrowth at least. Both groups showed similar radiographic parameters regarding osseointegration, which were stable over the time. Stress shielding was more evident in the T cohort (p =0.07).
conclusionHighly porous titanium cups produced using an additive manufacturing and electron beam melting technology achieved reliable midterm clinical and radiographic results not inferior to those of second-generation cups.
