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
Joint dislocation is a critical problem of total hip replacement. We have newly proposed an artificial hip joint with a structure that prevents dislocation. The proposed joint has a simple form with a femoral head partially covered with an acetabular cup. In the present study, the effects of inset heights and slit configurations of the cup on the pull-out forces of the joint were evaluated using finite element analysis. Joint models with different inset heights and those with or without a slit in the cup were used for the analyses to estimate the pull-out forces of the joint. In the case without the slit, the maximum pull-out force of the joint with 1.0 and 1.5 mm of the inset height was approximately 12 and 40 N, respectively. In the case of 1.0-mm inset height, the maximum force of the joint with and without the slit was approximately 9 and 12 N, respectively. These results reveal that the maximum force is markedly changed by the inset height and is moderately affected by the slit. Thus, we can gain insights into a strategy to optimally design an artificial joint in which dislocation does not occur easily. Graphical abstract.
