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
purposeThis study was aimed to explore (1) location on AP pelvic X-ray that displayed bone stock in anterosuperior acetabulum; (2) whether X-ray could provide enough evidence to evaluate whether bone stock could provide support for acetabular cup; (3) criteria to determine whether anterosuperior bone stock could provide sufficient support for cup on X-ray.
methodsOur study retrospectively collected 43 patients who underwent revision THA for cup loosening from 2014 to 2019. The position of anterosuperior acetabular bone stock was compared between X-ray and CT-based 3-D reconstruction. Seventy-millimeter acetabular cup was implanted simulatively to obtain the contact line between acetabular cup and superolateral remaining bone stock. The contact line length and the angle were measured. Patients were divided into cup group and cage group, and ROC curves of both contact line length and angle were drawn.
resultsThe superolateral part of acetabulum on X-ray could reflect the anterosuperior host bone stock of acetabulum according to the comparison of anteroposterior pelvic X-ray and 3-D reconstruction. Critical point was chosen when we got the highest sensitivity with a 100% specificity in ROC curves. The critical values of contact length and angle were 15.58 mm and 25.5°.
conclusionsSurgeons could assess the anterosuperior bone stock of acetabulum by AP pelvic X-ray to decide whether revision could be done merely using cup or need customized cage. Clinically, when contact line length was larger than 16 mm or contact angle was larger than 25.5°, adoption of cup could obtain primary stability in the revision surgery in most cases.
