A modified Harrington technique for periacetabular reconstruction in advanced metastatic bone disease and a discussion of alternative treatment options.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Management of periacetabular lesions involves complex clinical decision making. The modified Harrington procedure with total hip arthroplasty can recreate pelvic stability with a cement rebar construct as well as a functional hip. This study analyzes the modified Harrington procedure to assess construct longevity and patient outcomes. We queried a prospectively maintained database to identify all patients at a large academic medical center from 2017 to 2019 with periacetabular metastatic disease treated with a modified Harrington. Medical records were reviewed and complications, patient outcomes, Musculoskeletal Society Tumor (MSTS) scores, and implant survival were recorded. A total of nine patients were treated with the modified Harrington between 2017 and 2019. At maximum follow- up there were zero revisions or longterm complications. The mean preoperative MSTS score was 2.2 (range, 0-18), compared to the mean postoperative MSTS score of 17.7 (range, 9-25) recorded at a mean 4 (range, 1-30) months following surgery (p<0.001). The modified Harrington technique total hip technique for reconstruction in periacetabular metastatic bone disease is a safe procedure with effective symptom relief, improvement in function, and excellent implant survivorship.
