Two stage cementation and screw augmentation of large acetabular defects in low demand patients: Early results and surgical technique.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe reconstruction of large acetabular defects in revision hip arthroplasty represents a challenge to the surgeon and increases the complexity of the case. There are different options to overcome the problem of acetabular deficiency. In the elderly low demand patients, the main objective of revision surgery is to provide pain relief, allow immediate full weight bearing, and an early return to function.
methodsThis article presents our experience in acetabular revision surgery using a novel technique of two stage cementation and screw augmentation in low demand patients. We report on the surgical technique and present the early results in 10 patients.
resultsThere were 6 females and 4 males with average age of 83.8 years. Patients were followed up for an average of 18.1 months. All patients were pain free and full weight bearing at the time of the final follow up with radiographs showing maintenance of implant position. None of the patients underwent revision surgery and there were no radiographic signs of failure detected in the early follow-up period.
conclusionThis is a suitable technique in the management of large acetabular defects in revision hip arthroplasty, especially in the low demand patient population. It is a simple cost-effective technique that reduces the complexity of the acetabular revision, operative time, and morbidity associated with prolonged complex revision surgery.
