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

introductionIn the context of total hip arthroplasty (THA), there are several reasons that have motivated the development of short stems. It has been postulated that short stems allow a better conservation of the bone stock if compared to conventional stems. As far as we have knowledge, the quantitative loss of diaphyseal bone stock in patients with standard femoral stems has not been fully described. The aim of this study was to provide evidences about the thickness of the cortical bone at the diaphysis in patients who have undergone unilateral THA with Furlong PATIENTS AND

methodsA retrospective study of patients who underwent THA in a single hospital was performed. The inclusion criteria were patients who had undergone a non-cemented elective THA with a Furlong

resultsThe total number of patients who met the inclusion criteria was 22. There were 14 women and eight men. There were 12 left hips. The mean age at the time of surgery was 59.32 ± 6.83 (range 50-70) years. The mean follow-up was 20.86 ± 1.90 (range 18-24) years. The CTI was found to be 11.93% greater in the non-operated hips. The CT measured at 3 cm and 6 cm from lesser trochanter, and at 9 cm from the greater trochanter, was found to be 21.64%, 15.33% and 18.73% greater in the non-operated hips, respectively.

conclusionAfter a minimum of 18 years from the implantation of a Furlong LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III, retrospective case-control study.
