Does Activity Level After Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty Affect Aseptic Survival?
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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 purpose of this study is to evaluate survivorship and outcomes of high-activity patients compared to low-activity patients after total hip arthroplasty.
methodsA retrospective review identified 2002 patients (2532 hip) that underwent a primary total hip arthroplasty with vitamin E-infused highly crosslinked polyethylene liner. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on their University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity level: low activity (LA) (UCLA ≤5) and high activity (HA) (UCLA ≥6). Outcomes included Harris Hip Score, UCLA activity score, and reoperations. A multivariate nominal regression analysis was performed to evaluate the significance of postoperative activity level on survivorship.
resultsThe mean follow-up duration was 4.5 years (range, 0.3 to 9.9 years). HA group had significantly higher improvements in Harris Hip Score (HHS) (
conclusionsThis study found that a higher activity level after primary THA was not deleterious to survivorship at short to midterm follow-up with modern implants.
