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

backgroundSevere acetabular bone defects is a complex problem in revision hip arthroplasty, cage is one of the reconstruction options. The purpose of this study is to report the mid-long term clinical and radiographic results of Paprosky type III acetabular bone defects revised with reconstructional cage and morselized allogeneic cancellous bone graft without impaction.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 28 patients who underwent revision hip arthroplasty with reconstructional cage and allogeneic cancellous bone graft between January 2007 and January 2016. There were 13 Paprosky type IIIA bone defect patients and 15 Paprosky type IIIB bone defect patients and 4 patients of the 15 were also with pelvic discontinuity. Clinical assessment included Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Short Form-12 (SF-12). Radiographic assessment included center of rotation, cage migration, and bone graft incorporation.

resultsAll patients were followed up with a mean follow-up of 79.5 months (range 38-141), HHS improved from 31.4 (13-43) points preoperatively to 84.6 (55-94) points at last follow-up and SF-12 also improved significantly. There was 1 re-revision for the cage loosening and screw breakage at 61 months after surgery, and 2 patients had nonprogressive radiolucency in zone III and the junction of zone II and zone III at the bone implant interface.

conclusionThe reconstructional cage combining with morselized allografts without impaction achieves a good result with a high complete allograft incorporation rate in Paprosky type III acetabular bone defects.
