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

The diagnosis of and decision-making for early revision surgery to treat failure of biological fixation with a proximally coated cementless stem are challenging. A 73-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with thigh pain 2 years after the initial total hip arthroplasty. Although a plain radiograph showed no signs indicating biological fixation failure, digital tomosynthesis showed a highly radiodense line along the proximal part, and bone scintigraphy showed uptake at the distal part. With the diagnosis of biological fixation failure due to the proximal-distal mismatch, the cementless stem was revised to a cemented stem, and the thigh pain was improved after the revision surgery. Digital tomosynthesis and bone scintigraphy can be helpful for the diagnosis of biological fixation failure due to proximal-distal mismatch.
