Mechanically Assisted Crevice Corrosion in a Metal-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Presenting With Lower Extremity Vascular Compromise.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Mechanically assisted crevice corrosion in modular total hip replacements may lead to an adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) with a variety of sequelae. Although an ALTR is most commonly recognized with metal-on-metal modular hip constructs, tribocorrosion at the head-neck junction of metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) total hip arthroplasties may also lead to an ALTR. We present a case of a 79-year-old woman with a history of MoP total hip arthroplasty who presented with unilateral leg swelling, joint pain, and stiffness and subsequently underwent revision for an ALTR secondary to mechanically assisted crevice corrosion. This unique case of lower extremity vascular compromise resulting from an ALTR is important because clinicians should consider corrosion-related ALTRs when treating patients with an MoP hip prosthesis presenting with new-onset lower extremity swelling.
