Total hip arthroplasty after acetabular fracture surgery.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeAcetabular fractures are accompanied by complications such as post-traumatic osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip and avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head. The aim of the study was to evaluate improvement of life quality and functional recovery after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with post-traumatic OA and AVN.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 23 patients with post-traumatic OA of the hip and AVN of the femoral head who undergone THA, out of 63 patients who were previously surgically treated for acetabular fractures. Final functional outcomes are defined according to the Merle d'Aubigné score, and the pain intensity according to VAS from 0 to 10.
resultsOut of 63 patients with acetabular fractures from 2008 to 2018, we analyzed 23 (36.5%) patients, with an average age of 51.5 ± 13.8 years, who required THA due to post-traumatic OA and AVN of the femoral head. THA was done after the average of 4.28 years (range 1 to 8) from previous acetabular osteosynthesis. According to Merle d'Aubigné score, final functional outcomes before THA were moderate with average points of 4.86 (4-6). Post-THA final functional outcomes were excellent with an average point of 10.04 (10-12) (p < 0.001). The ratio of VAS before and after THA was 9.04:1.95(p < 0.001).
conclusionTHA is a method which gives the best results in the treatment of post-traumatic OA of the hip and AVN of the femoral head after previous osteosynthesis of the acetabular fracture. After THA, life quality and functional status of a patient are significantly improved.
