Minimally Invasive Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Comparison of Restoring Hip Biomechanics With and Without a Traction Table.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimThe aim of the study was to analyze operative time and restoration of hip biomechanics in total hip arthroplasty (THA) via direct anterior approach (DAA) with and without the use of a traction table. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe retrospectively compared 97 cases where a traction table was used to 92 cases without a table. Ninety-seven patients received THA with a traction table (AMIS
resultsCut-to-suture time was statistically significantly shorter in the traction table group (p=0.001), whereas analysis of offset parameters (acetabular, femoral and combined) was comparable between the two groups (p=0.31, p=0.95, p=0.42). Postoperative leg length was statistically significantly different with and without traction table use (p=0.02).
conclusionBoth methods enable restoration of hip biomechanics with high accuracy. Further studies with prospective study designs and larger sample sizes may be needed to confirm these results.
