Proceeding from direct lateral to anterolateral approach in total hip arthroplasty: A closer look on radiological and clinical aspects.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionSince less invasive approaches for total hip arthroplasty (THA) are promoted, our aim was to compare direct lateral (DLA) and anterolateral approach (ALA) under otherwise identical conditions.
methodsPre - and postoperative x-rays from 200 propensity matched patients (DLA vs. ALA) were evaluated for anatomical reconstruction.
resultsOverall, the cup position was within the safe zone in both group while the mean center of rotation (COR) was placed more medial and cranial in both groups compared to preoperative anatomy (p > 0.05). The mean leg elongation was comparable between both approaches (p > 0.05). Postoperatively the WOMAC improved about 90%.
conclusionThis study confirmed that the ALA can be safely used for THA in minimal invasive setting.
