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

This study aims to assess long-term outcomes of Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) through Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) in a developing country using traditional and novel Patient-Reported Outcomes. There were 522 patients (mean age, 56.5 years; 66.3% female) after mean follow-up 7.35 years. There were 13 revisions. Overall 5-year implant survival rate was 97.5%. Patient Joint Perception scores of 65.5% perceived a completely natural joint. Mean Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Score was 89.1. Median Forgotten Joint Score-12 was 90 and modified Harris Hip Score was 88. Primary DAA THA in sub-Saharan Africa allows good clinical outcomes at minimum 5 years follow-up.
