A Specific Capsular Repair Technique Lowered Early Dislocations in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty Through a Posterior Approach.
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 6 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
backgroundDislocation is a challenging problem after total hip arthroplasty (THA). We sought to evaluate the incidence of early dislocation with 2 different posterior repair techniques after THA using a posterior approach.
methodsFrom September of 2008 to August of 2019, we evaluated 841 THAs performed by a single surgeon using a posterior approach. Before November of 2015, the capsule was repaired to the greater trochanter (group 1, 605 patients). Starting November 2015, the posterior capsule was repaired in a side-to-side fashion (direct soft-tissue repair) (group 2, 236 patients). There was a mean follow-up of 31.1 months (range, 2.5-122.5 months). A multivariable logistic regression model was constructed to assess the impact of baseline patient and operative factors on the dislocation rate.
resultsThere were 22 dislocations, all of which occurred in group 1. There were no dislocations in group 2. After adjusting for patient and operative factors, the direct soft-tissue repair had a large impact on the overall multivariable model as indicated by its effect likelihood ratio of 10.33 (
conclusionsSwitching from a capsular repair to the greater trochanter to a side-to-side capsular repair was associated with a decreased rate of dislocation in primary THA through a posterior approach.
