1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThis study aims to report the physiological and radiological long-term results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) combined with or without subtrochanteric osteotomy in a group of developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included 90 hips of 59 patients (3 males, 56 females; mean age 45.7±10.9 years; range, 24 to 67 years) who underwent THA between January 1979 and March 2006. Thirteen patients needed subtrochanteric shortening. The evaluation was performed through Harris hip scores, physical examination, and radiological imaging.

resultsThe follow-up period ranged from 5 to 32 years, and the mean follow-up period was 10.3±6.4 years. Revision was required in 17 hips out of 90. Twelve revisions were needed because of aseptic loosening of femoral or acetabular component, three were for fracture of the femoral stem, and two for protrusio acetabuli. Four patients had transient nerve palsy, and one had permanent nerve function loss. In one patient, nonunion was observed around the femoral osteotomy site. Harris hip score was remarkably improved compared to top preoperative values (48 vs. 88.2, p<0.01).

conclusionAlthough revision rates tend to increase in long-term follow-up, THA is one of the best treatment options in DDH patients to relieve pain, improve daily activity levels, and minimize the damage of the knee and lumbar region.
