Efficacy of total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of patients with femoral head avascular necrosis: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundFemoral head avascular necrosis (FHAN) is a very common condition among elderly population. Previous studies have reported that total hip arthroplasty (THAP) can benefit patients with such condition. However, no study systematically addressed this topic. Thus, this study will systematically explore the efficacy and safety of THAP for the treatment of patients with FHAN.
methodsWe will search the following electronic bibliographic databases from inception to the February 29, 2020: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Scientific Journal Database. Randomized controlled trials of THAP for the treatment of patients with FHAN will be included, which were reported in any language. All process of study selection, data collection, and study quality assessment will be performed independently by 2 authors independently. Any divergences will be solved by discussion with another author. RevMan 5.3 software will be carried out for data synthesis and analysis.
resultsThis study will provide a detailed summary of current evidence related to the efficacy and safety of THAP for the treatment of patients with FHAN through assessing pain intensity of hip or knee joints, function and limitation of attacked femoral head, health-related quality of life, and complications.
conclusionThe findings of this study may provide helpful guidance of THAP for the treatment of patients with FHAN. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION: INPLASY202040067.
