An alternative treatment option for Paprosky Type IIIb acetabular defect using multiple tantalum wedges - A case report.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The treatment of severe acetabular defects in revision total hip arthroplasty (Paprosky type IIIa and IIIb) is demanding and choosing the appropriate surgical technique remains controversial. The introduction of trabecular metal augments has led to a variety of new treatment options. The authors present a case of a Paprosky Type IIIb acetabular defect due to eight subsequent revisions of the left hip. The patient was treated with an alternative treatment option using multiple tantalum wedges. Anatomical reconstruction was achieved and at 12 months follow-up, the patient was pain free and was able to walk without walking aids.
