Aseptic Loosening of Smaller Corail Stems in Heavy, Active Males: A Report of Three Cases.
Article in Cureus, 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
Recent concerns have been raised regarding a higher failure rate with smaller size Corail stems. This case series examines early aseptic loosening with smaller stems in three large male patients with Dorr A bone. Each stem was fluoroscopically aligned and sized until stable with axial and rotational stress. In each case, failure occurred within six months due to symptomatic metaphyseal debonding. Careful analysis suggests a correlation of failure to small size stems that are comparatively 1) undersized relative to the metaphysis, 2) undersized relative to patient body mass index, and 3) undersized relative to the amount of offset created.
