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
introductionThe optimum choice of bearing surfaces in total hip replacement (THR) in the younger and active patient remains controversial. The aim of this study was to report the 10 year clinical outcomes, and a median of 15 year implant survival and incidence of complications in a series of Alumina ceramic-on-ceramic THRs utilising an uncemented shell and cemented stem.
methodsFrom January 2004 to December 2007, 175 consecutive patients (195 hips) underwent primary THR. The acetabular components was Trident Peripheral Self Locking (Stryker Orthopaedics) with a third-generation ceramic head and liner (Alumina ceramic, Stryker Orthopaedics). The stem utilised was an Exeter V-40 (Stryker Orthopaedics). Data were collated on demographics, surgical factors, clinical outcomes, radiographic outcomes and revision.
results23 patients (27 THRs) died during the follow-up period at a median of 7.8 (3.8 to 9.0) years post-operatively due to causes unrelated to the THR. Median age at time of surgery was 55 (interquartile range 48-60) years. Median follow-up for surviving patients was 15.2 years. Survivorship for all-cause revision was 97.2%. Increasing patient age at time of surgery was associated with a higher OHS at 10 years (p = 0.022). 32 mm head diameter had an improved OHS at 3 months (p = 0.014) and 10 years (p = 0.030). Posterior surgical approach had a statistically significant better OHS at 3 months (p = 0.015) and 1 year (p < 0.001), but the effect was not significant at 10 years (p = 0.440).
conclusionThe findings of this study support excellent long-term outcomes and survivorship of Alumina ceramic-on-ceramic bearing in a hybrid THR in a younger population. Surgical factors leading to a more favourable outcome were the use of a 32 mm femoral head and a posterior approach. Increasing age at surgery demonstrated the most sustained improvement in 10 year clinical outcomes.
