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
backgroundOne-stage, bilateral, short-stem total hip arthroplasty (1B-ssTHA) represents an alternative to staged, unilateral, short-stem total hip arthroplasty (U-ssTHA); however, the safety and reliability of 1B-ssTHA remain unknown. The objective of the present study was to compare the functional outcomes, complications, and mortality rates between 1B-ssTHA and U-ssTHA at mid-term.
methodsA retrospective, matched-pair study was performed, including 216 short stems implanted in 162 patients. Among the study population, 54 patients were treated with 1B-ssTHA. Patients were matched by gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification. A total of 46 full matches could be accomplished. The mean follow-up time for the 1B-ssTHA group was 61.7 months (standard deviation [SD] 6.2 months), compared with was 63.4 months (SD 8.0 months) for the U-ssTHA group. Mortality, complication, and revision rates were documented. For clinical examinations, the visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate satisfaction, rest pain, and load pain, and the Harris Hip Score (HHS) was determined.
resultsNo surgery-related deaths were observed. At mid-term, none of the 1B-ssTHA patients required stem revision. The rate of complications for both groups was low. The mean drop in haemoglobin measured in the 1B-ssTHA group was 4.42 mg/dl, compared with 3.18 mg/dl in the U-ssTHA group. The mean HHS in the 1B-ssTHA group was 98.3 points (SD 2.80), whereas, in the U-ssTHA group, the mean HHS was 97.9 points (SD 3.44) (p = 0.478). Satisfaction rates were significantly higher in the 1B-ssTHA group (p = 0.04) than in the U-ssTHA group, whereas no significant differences were found for pain at rest and pain at load (p = 0.56 and p = 0.26, respectively).
conclusionOur findings indicate that 1B-ssTHA is an effective and beneficial procedure for a select population. Mortality, complications, implant survival, and clinical outcomes were comparable to those for a matched group with unilateral osteoarthritis treated with U-ssTHA. However, an increase in blood loss must be acknowledged for the 1B-ssTHA procedure.
