Bilateral Mechanically-Assisted Crevice Corrosion Resulting in Femoral Stem-Head Dissociation in Metal-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
There are emerging reports of complications related to corrosion in modular femoral components. We report a unique case describing an 83-year-old man with bilateral mechanically-assisted crevice corrosion in hip replacements performed 10 years previously, by the same surgeon using the same size 3 Accolade TMZF stem and same 44-mm CoCr LFIT V40 head (Stryker Orthopedics, Mahwah NJ). Our patient presented with complete femoral stem-head complex dissociation of his right hip and elevated serum cobalt and chromium levels. He subsequently underwent right hip revision arthroplasty while his contralateral hip is monitored closely as an outpatient. This case helps to define the poorly understood mechanisms and component design factors implicated in this emerging issue. We also hope to provoke discussions about guidelines for monitoring and revising failing metal-on-polyethylene arthroplasty systems.
