The Harrington plus reconstruction for pelvic and acetabular metastases.
Article in Journal of bone oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundSurgical management of periacetabular bone metastases is challenging. The Harrington Plus reconstruction is a modification of the original Harrington rod technique. An intrapelvic suprapectineal plate is used, with the aim of reconstructing a disrupted anterior column and reducing the risk of failure in cases where there is extensive medial bone loss.
methodsA retrospective review of the 13 patients who have undergone the Harrington Plus procedure to date was performed. Mobility status, EQ5D and Oxford Hip scores were assessed.
resultsThere was a significant improvement in mobility status, EQ5D and Oxford Hip Scores at 6 months postoperatively (p < 0.05). Two patients returned to theatre for debridement of infection. There were no postoperative dislocations, cup medialisation or cases of loosening of the prosthesis. No patient required revision arthroplasty surgery.
conclusionThe Harrington Plus procedure produces a reliable construct that allows patients with extensive periacetabular metastatic defects to fully weight-bear. Careful patient selection and multidisciplinary management is essential.
