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

In combination with pain and elevated inflammatory parameters that are frequently observed following elective total hip arthroplasty (THA), air entrapment on radiographic images could be indicative of necrotising fasciitis. The aim of the present study was to analyse presence/extent of air entrapment following THA, and to correlate radiological with clinical findings. One-hundred patients undergoing short-stem elective THA (ANA NOVA Alpha Proxy-system) were prospectively included. Patients received pre- and postoperative x-rays (day 1 + discharge) of the affected hip, together with a CT-scan of the lower extremity (discharge). C-reactive-protein-(CRP), leukocyte, haemoglobin-, creatinine-, glucose-, sodium-levels - and based on these the LRINEC score- as well as pain-scores (numeral-rating-scale, NRS) at postoperative days 1, 3 and 5 were documented. Air entrapment was visible in 98% of x-rays taken postoperatively and in 93% of CT-scans at discharge. Leukocyte-levels significantly decreased from postoperative day 1 to 5. CRP-levels had a peak at the 3
