Heterotopic ossification and clinical results after total hip arthroplasty using the anterior minimally invasive and anterolateral approaches.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered the gold standard in the treatment of advanced osteoarthritis of the hip. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of heterotopic ossification (HO), the quality of life and the function in two groups of patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA), performed using the anterior minimally invasive (MIS) and the anterolateral approaches. MATERIAL AND
methodsRetrospective analysis of 597 patients who underwent THA in 2009-2013 was performed. In all 597 cohort data on medical history were retrieved. HO occurrence was recorded for 331 patients and was evaluated based on Brooker's scale in the X-ray scan. Functional and quality of life scores were obtained for 238 patients. The following scales were used for the survey: Harris Hip Score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Visual Analogue Scale, and Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Satisfaction Scale.
resultsPatients operated on from the MIS approach had statistically significantly (
conclusionsThe MIS approach was associated with better clinical and functional outcomes. In the aspect of HO, we were not able to show the superiority of the MIS approach in terms of incidence.
