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

Catastrophic failure of ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty is still occasionally described. We report on a new case of complete atraumatic penetration of an intact ceramic head through the titanium cup in a cementless total hip arthroplasty due to dramatic polyethylene and metal wear. We reviewed the literature for similar cases and analyzed potential risk factors. Most importantly, revision of radiologically worn liners should not be postponed, especially in young and active patients with conventional liners, because the time to dramatic failure could be shorter than expected.
