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

objectiveThis study was performed assess the clinical outcomes of elderly patients with osteoporotic femoral neck fractures (FNFs) (AO/OTA: 31B/C) treated by initial uncemented total hip arthroplasty (UTA) or cemented total hip arthroplasty (CTA).

methodsThis study involved consecutive elderly patients with osteoporotic FNFs (AO/OTA: 31B/C) treated by initial UTA or CTA in our medical centre from 2010 to 2015. The primary outcomes were the Harris hip score (HHS) and the rates of revision, loosening, periprosthetic fracture, and dislocation.

resultsIn total, 224 patients were included in the final analysis (UTA, n = 114; CTA, n = 110). The mean follow-up duration was 60 months (range, 32-68 months). The mean HHS was 75.34 ± 18.82 for UTA and 80.12 ± 17.83 for CTA. Significant dissimilarities were detected in the rates of revision, loosening, and periprosthetic fracture between UTA and CTA (14.0% vs. 5.5%, 20.2% vs. 10.0%, and 12.3% vs. 4.5%, respectively). A significant difference was also detected in the probability of revision between the two groups.

conclusionElderly patients with osteoporotic FNFs (AO/OTA: 31B/C) treated with CTA show greater improvements in functional outcomes and key orthopaedic complications than those treated with UTA.
