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

purposeto evaluate the results of Delta ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) for total-hip-arthroplasty (THA).

methods261 THA using Delta-CoC, retrospectively analyzed. A 36 mm head was used in 189 cases and a 32/40 mm in the others. The series have been compared to a group of 89 THA with Forte-CoC.

resultsThe Harris-Hip-Score improved from 49.1 ± 14.3 to 92.0 ± 8.9 (P < 0.001). In the Delta group there were one ceramic fracture and 2 dislocations. Two hips underwent revision. There were one revision in the Forte group for instability and one squeaking hip.

conclusionsThe new ceramic bearings provides a safe bearing for THA, with rare complications.
