The Oxinium Arthrogram: A Sign of Oxidized Zirconium Implant Failure.
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 10 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
Oxinium implants are composed of a zirconium alloy with a hard ceramic surface formed by oxidization of the outer layer. This material has been shown to be an effective bearing surface for total joint arthroplasty and an alternative material for use in patients with metal hypersensitivity. Reports exist of metallosis due to unintended wear of Oxinium components from multiple mechanisms including polyethylene liner dissociation and joint instability. This metallosis creates a distinct appearance on radiographic imaging similar to that of an arthrogram. We report 2 cases of metallosis and describe the characteristic radiographic appearance of failed oxidized zirconium implants.
