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

Phocomelia is a rare congenital birth defect marked by hypoplastic or markedly absent limbs. Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a congenital disorder with a failure of the native acetabulum to provide complete coverage over the femoral head. The secondary osteoarthritis that develops from DDH is technically challenging for orthopedic surgeons because of distorted anatomy. The present case describes the diagnosis of Crowe 3 DDH in a phocomelia patient with hyperflexion requirements who successfully underwent staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty via a direct anterior approach. It highlights the utility of preoperative computerized tomography and intraoperative computer navigation to assist in implant placement. Recognizing difficult arthroplasty cases in advance is imperative as these cases may require great expertise and more extensive surgical planning.
