Wear analysis of the first-generation cross-linked polyethylene at minimum 10 years follow-up after THA: no significant effect of sports participation.
Article in Journal of artificial organs : the official journal of the Japanese Society for Artificial Organs, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The impact of sports on long-term wear of highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not fully understood. We investigated (1) the wear performance of the first-generation XLPE, and (2) whether sports participation influences the steady wear rate of XLPE. The femoral head penetration into the cup was measured digitally on radiographs of hips undergoing THA with XLPE. We retrospectively reviewed data that included age, gender, body mass index, follow-up period, preoperative diagnosis, types of XLPE, ball diameter, head material, inclination of the cup, physical function score, and sports participation. Statistical analyses were applied to determine whether sports affect the wear of XLPE and which factors were associated with the steady wear rate. Creep and steady wear rate were found to be 0.18 mm and 0.005 mm/year, respectively. Sports participation, regardless of impact, provided no significant difference in the steady wear rate. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that sports did not increase the steady wear rate. Our findings showed excellent wear performance of the first-generation XLPE at a minimum of ten years after THA, without significant effect of sports participation on the liner wear.
