Neurologic Dysfunction Associated With Mechanically Assisted Crevice Corrosion and Elevated Cobalt Ion Levels After Total Hip Arthroplasty.
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 6 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
Adverse local tissue reactions secondary to mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC) at the trunnion is a complication of total hip arthroplasty known to cause local soft-tissue damage. However, what is not as well appreciated is that MACC in metal-on-polyethylene (MOP) articulations can lead to cobalt ion serum elevations with associated neurological dysfunction just as in metal-on-metal articulations. We report a compelling case for the association of neurologic dysfunction tied to metal ion elevations secondary to MACC at two distinct MOP tapers in a 58-year-old intensive care unit nurse with two hips implanted 3 years apart. This report further raises awareness about the potential of MACC-generated elevated ion levels to produce neurological symptoms that might otherwise be overlooked in patients with MOP articulations.
