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

Total hip arthroplasty, one of the most successful orthopaedic procedures, is influenced by several variables. Corrosion at the modular junction is known as trunnionosis. Despite being reported infrequently, corrosion between the femoral head and the Morse taper can result in severe complications. Fracture of the femoral component in primary metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty at the Morse taper is an extremely rare event and can be associated with several risk factors. We report a case of corrosion at the Morse taper in a hybrid primary MoM total hip arthroplasty, resulting in Morse taper fracture with consequent femoral head entrapment inside the acetabular component. We hypothesise that some risk factors, such as age over 60years, active male patients, body mass index above 30kg/m
