1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionInadequate stem version might lead to impingement and instability after cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). We evaluated (1) the distribution of short-stem anteversion, (2) the proportion of stems with an anteversion less than 5° or larger than 25°, (3) combined cup and stem anteversion, and (4) dislocation rate. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe evaluated the native femoral anteversion and stem anteversion in 340 patients (340 THAs): 144 men and 196 women. Their mean age was 56.2 (22-87) years and mean body mass index was 25.1 (15.2-40.7) kg/m

resultsThe femoral neck anteversion ranged from -15 to 61° (mean, 15.0°; SD, ±10.6°). The stem anteversion ranged -7 to 50° (mean, 15.7°; SD, ±9.5°). It was optimal (5-25°) in 71.2% (242/340), insufficient (<5°) in 13.3% (45/340), and excessive (>25°) in 15.6% (53/340). The stem anteversion had a medium correlation with the femoral neck anteversion (correlation coefficient = 0.449). The combined anteversion was 42.0° (range, 35.2-52.3°; SD, ±2.8°). During two to four year follow-up, no hip dislocated.

conclusionsShort-length stem had a great variability in the anteversion and considerable portion (28.9%, 98/340) of stems had an anteversion outside the safe zone. Surgeons should be aware of this variability of stem anteversion to compensate for abnormal stem anteversion, which might lead to impingement and instability after THA.
