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

Background and purpose - We previously described a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) in the calcar region 2 years after insertion of the collum femoris-preserving (CFP) stem, but the implants were stable. Now we have examined the long-term changes in periprosthetic BMD and stability of the CFP stem. Patients and methods - We conducted a minimum 8-year follow-up of 21 patients from our original investigation. We examined periprosthetic BMD by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and implant stability by radiostereometric analysis (RSA). Results - Between 2 and 8 years 1 stem was revised due to aseptic loosening. Between 2 and 8 years we found a 14% (95% confidence interval [CI] 9-19) reduction in BMD in Gruen zone 6 and 17% (CI 6-28) in Gruen zone 7. From baseline the reduction in BMD was 30% (CI 23-36) in Gruen zone 6, 39% (CI 31-47) in Gruen zone 7, and 19% (CI 14-23) in Gruen zone 2. Between 2 and 8 years, RSA (n = 17) showed a mean translation along the stem axis of 0.02mm (CI -0.02 to 0.06) and a mean rotation around the stem axis of 0.08° (CI -0.26 to 0.41). From baseline mean subsidence was 0.07 mm (CI -0.16 to 0.03) and mean rotation around the stem axis was 0.23° (CI -0.23 to 0.68) at 8 years. Interpretation - There was continuous loss of proximomedial BMD at 8 years while the CFP stem remained stable. Proximal periprosthetic bone loss cannot be prevented by this stem.
