Durability of transosseous repair of posterior soft tissues after primary total hip arthroplasty: a prospective randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
purposePosterior soft tissue repair is one of the methods for preventing dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to evaluate durability of two separate suture materials in THA patients who underwent posterior soft tissue repair.
methods42 THA patients were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, where braided nonabsorbable suture was used in group A (n = 22), while braided absorbable suture was used in group B (n = 20). While repairing the posterior soft tissues, the piriformis and triceps coxae tendons together with the capsule were reattached to the greater trochanter via pull out sutures. Two hemoclips were attached as distance markers to both pull out sutures on the medial and lateal sides of the greater trochanter. Anteroposterior radiographs were taken one day, 15 days, 3 months and 6 months after operation. Distances between the hemoclips medial and lateral to the greater trochanter were measured on the radiographs, and the closest distances were recorded. The repair was considered a failure if the difference of distances between the first and any of the follow-up measurements exceeded 15 mm.
resultsNo statistically significant difference was observed between the groups. In both groups, elongation magnitudes in all time intervals were statistically significant while the results obtained from measurements taken 15 days after operation were more significant (p < 0.01). No dislocations were observed.
conclusionWe conclude that for transosseous posterior soft tissue repair in THA, both absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures are similarly durable and can be routinely performed.
