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

The objective of our study was to evaluate the association between acute periprosthetic joint infection (APJI) and radiographic measurement of soft-tissue thickness in elective total hip replacement surgery. A case-control study was conducted to compare the soft-tissue thickness radiographic measurement (SRM) at the hip in patients diagnosed with APJI based on Tsukayama et al. (2003) criteria after total hip replacement with patients that were not infected, at a single institution from 2013 to 2019. To minimize selection bias, each case was matched with two controls using the following methodology: patients of the same sex, with an age variation of
