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

We present a case of symptomatic trochanteric non-union following total hip replacement treated initially with a Dall-Miles grip plate. After failure of this treatment, the patient had a two-stage revision. Trochanteric non-union is one of the well-described complications after total hip replacement. It is frequently difficult to treat, while potentially causing weakness, altered gait and instability of the artificial joint. We believe that reattachment of the trochanter combined with a staged revision of the femoral stem using a posterior approach for the second stage could be a valuable technique to be added to the orthopaedic armamentarium for recurrent and symptomatic trochanteric non-unions after primary total hip replacement, particularly after failure to treat with all the other techniques described in literature.
