Metal on metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty: Where are we now?
Review in Journal of orthopaedics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Metal on metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) was introduced in an attempt to address potential limitations regarding return to sport, return to high functional activity and premature wear in young patients requiring standard total hip replacement (THR). Around 12% patients undergoing hip replacement surgery are under 55 years of age. By more closely mimicking natural anatomy, and having a metal on metal (MoM) bearing, it was hoped that HRA would address the issues. However, concern has emerged about early failure, high revision rates from local adverse reactions to metallic wear debris and potential systemic consequences of metal ion cardiotoxicity. In this article, we discuss the existing literature in the field, the current clinical evidence surrounding HRA, its indications, clinical outcomes, and risk factors for failure and conclude if it still has a role within orthopaedic hip surgery.
