Outcome of total hip arthroplasty in patients with failed open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe problem of failed acetabulum fracture fixation is increasing due to increased incidence of high-velocity injury and a large number of patients are being operated on in the past few years. Limited evidence is available regarding results of Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with failed acetabulum fracture fixation surgery. We assessed the clinical, radiological and postoperative complications. Besides this, we also evaluated functional outcome and quality of life following THA in failed open reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fractures.
methodThe current retrospective study was performed at the tertiary center from 2015 to 2020. Eighteen patients of failed acetabulum fracture fixation surgery (14 males and 4 females) were included with a mean follow-up period of 2.4 years. Postero-lateral approach was done in all cases. Clinico-radiological outcome, functional outcomes were recorded according to Harris Hip score (HHS) and quality of life was assessed by using the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) score. Postoperative complications were also assessed.
resultsThe age of patients ranged from 20 years to 68 years with a mean age of 44.7 years. 16 of the patients (88.9%) had a united acetabular fracture while 2 of them (11.1%) presented with un-united acetabular fracture. The THA implant was found to be stable in all 18 cases. The Harris Hip score of the study ranged from 82 to 95 with a mean of 89.72 ± 4.24 while the SF-12 score ranged from 40.0 to 49.4 with a mean of 44.29 ± 2.95. Out of 18 cases, 11 (61.1%) returned with excellent outcomes while the rest 7 (38.9%) returned with good outcomes as per Harris Hips score criteria. The correlation and regression analysis shows between HHS and SF-12 was positive and statistically significant (r = 0.592, p = 0.010
conclusionTHA in patients with failed acetabulum fracture fixation surgery provides a reliable option with satisfactory outcomes along with a better quality of life.
