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

objectiveWe aimed to demonstrate the methods of treatment for coxa vara with modular total hip arthroplasty (THA) and evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes, and further survivorship at the midterm follow-up.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 33 patients (42 hips) who underwent modular THA for coxa vara deformity from May 2008 to December 2019. The clinical and radiographic results, including Harris Hip Score (HHS), leg length discrepancy (LLD), greater trochanteric height, femoral offset, abductor lever arm, stem alignment and limp, and complications, were evaluated.

resultsThe follow-up time was mean 69.9±43.7 months. Clinically, the HHS improved significantly (p<0.001) on average from 42.90±14.44 points to 89.54±4.75 points. The mean LLD decreased from 33.3±19.4 mm to 5.0±5.8 mm (p<0.001), and 27 patients (82%) thought that total equality of the lower limbs was obtained. Patients demonstrated diminished or no limping in 88% (29/33) of hips and a significant improvement of biomechanics. At the final follow-up, all stems of hips were in clinical neutral alignment and the prostheses survivorship rates for all-causes revisions was 97.6%.

conclusionModular THA is a valuable alternative to render favorable outcomes for treatment of osteoarthritis secondary to severe coxa vara.
