Radiation exposure in fluoroscopy-guided anterior total hip arthroplasty: a systematic review.
Synthesis in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo investigate the average fluoroscopy time, as well as the patient and surgical staff average radiation exposure in the context of intraoperative fluoroscopy use during anterior total hip arthroplasty (THA).
methodsPubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus were systematically searched for studies pertaining to intraoperative anterior THA fluoroscopy (PROSPERO ID 258049). The comprehensive literary search was conducted using "THA," "fluoroscopy" and "radiation exposure" as the search criteria, which resulted in 187 total papers. Of these 187 papers, 11 studies were included in this systematic review as they involved anterior THA and specifically contained data regarding radiation exposure dose and/or time.
resultsEleven studies were included, enrolling 1839 patients. The average fluoroscopy time was 21.4 (95% confidence interval [CI] 16.6-26.1) seconds, whereas the average patient radiation dose was 1.8 × 10
conclusionsAlthough several studies fail to report fluoroscopy time and radiation dose in THA patients, fluoroscopy-guided THA has emerged as a safe procedure. Additional studies may analyze if radiation exposure during the surgeon's THA learning curve is significantly higher, as well as what protocols may potentially reduce radiation exposure even further.
