Late Onset Atraumatic Ceramic Head Fracture of a Hybrid Ceramic Bearings Total Hip Arthroplasty.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Ceramic head fracture is a major complication of ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) total hip arthroplasty (THA) and though new generation ceramics have lowered the rates, although it is still a great concern. We report a case of late onset (more than 10 years after surgery) ceramic head fracture of a hybrid ceramic bearings to emphasize on its unusual clinical manifestation. Furthermore, we highlight the late onset presentation and also the rarity of this complication with this particular hybrid ceramic bearings. A relevant review of the literature revealed that hybrid ceramic bearings need to be more thoroughly studied to understand modes of their failure and to reach a consensus on how to reduce and prevent these disastrous complications.
