Total hip arthroplasty following acetabular fracture: a clinical and radiographic outcome analysis of 67 patients.

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
backgroundTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) is a challenging option for the treatment of posttraumatic arthritis due to acetabular fractures.
methodsThe study aimed to determine the short- and mid-term clinical and radiographic results of THA following acetabular fracture. The fracture pattern, the extent of injury and the initial fracture treatment were considered to evaluate the influence of these factors on the clinical-radiographic outcome.
results67 patients who received THA for the treatment of posttraumatic osteoarthritis after acetabular fracture between January 2007 and December 2012 were analyzed consecutively. The group consisted of 13 female (19%) and 54 male (81%) patients with a mean age of 59 (25-87) years at the time of THA. The time between acetabular injury and arthroplasty was 107 (1-504) months on average. The all-cause 8-year survival rate was 0.87% (0.76-0.93) and there were 8 revisions, half of them were due to aseptic loosening of the cup. The Harris Hip Score achieved was 75.7 ± 21.3 (26.9-100) points. Prior to THA, heterotopic ossifications were detected in 28% and after THA implantation in 42%.
conclusionThe decrease of the interval between injury and arthroplasty was associated with increasing patient age (p = 0.001) and surgical treatment of the acetabular fracture (p = 0.04). Complex fracture patterns were accompanied by acetabular bone defects more often than simple patterns (p = 0.03). Overall, arthroplasty due to posttraumatic osteoarthritis after acetabular fracture resulted in decreased overall survival rates and poorer clinical outcome as compared to primary arthroplasty.
