Robotic Arm-Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty to Correct Leg Length Discrepancy in a Patient With Spinopelvic Obliquity.
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 2 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
Leg length discrepancy is not an uncommon result of total hip arthroplasty and a major cause of patient dissatisfaction. Spinopelvic obliquity is a less-recognized cause of limb length differences in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. The robotic arm has recently been introduced to enhance implant positioning during surgery and to achieve more predictable leg length and offset goals. In this article, we illustrate the case of a patient who presented with a leg length discrepancy associated with significant spinopelvic obliquity. We show the use of the robotic arm total hip application to improve her pelvic obliquity and limb length discrepancy. This approach helped with the patient's symptoms and gait as well as her radiographic pelvic alignment.
