1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeInstability remains one of the most frequent complications requiring revision surgery after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Elevated liners are often utilized to reduce the risk of dislocation; however, the literature is inconclusive, with no systematic reviews summarizing the data. Thus, this systematic review aimed to establish a consensus for the efficacy of elevated liners in primary THA by determining rates of overall revision and revision specifically for recurrent dislocation. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Eligible randomized-controlled trials and observational studies reporting on the use of elevated liners in primary total hip arthroplasty were identified through May 2020. A random effects model meta-analysis was conducted, and the I

resultsEight studies met inclusion criteria, and overall, 26,507 patients undergoing primary THA with use of an elevated liner were included. In aggregate, the most common cause of revision was recurrent hip dislocation (1.3%, N = 82/6,267) followed by joint infection (1.2%, N = 45/3,772) and acetabular loosening (0.3%, N = 10/3,772). Notably, elevated liners were associated with a lower risk of revision for recurrent dislocation compared to neutral liners (HR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.55-1.00; p = 0.048).

conclusionThis review found that after primary THA with the use of elevated liners, hip dislocation and prosthetic joint infection continued to be the most frequent reasons for revision surgery. However, elevated liners had a lower risk of revision for recurrent dislocation compared to neutral liners.
