Porous tantalum shell and augment for acetabular defect reconstruction in revision total hip arthroplasty: a mid-term follow-up study.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
aimThe use of porous tantalum trabecular metal (TM) shell and augment to reconstruct acetabular defects in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a reliable technique. We evaluated the mid-term implant survival, clinical, and radiological outcomes of our first 48 revisions using this technique. PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 45 patients (48 hips) who had acetabular revision of THA between 2011 and 2017 using TM shell and augment with possible mid-term follow-up were included. Twenty-two patients were men (49%) and 23 were women (51%), mean age was 62.5 years (34 to 85) and mean follow-up was 75 months (54 to 125). Twenty-four hips (50%) had a Paprosky IIIA defect, 14 (29.2%) had a type IIIB defect, six (12.5%) had a type IIC defect, and four hips (8.3%) had a type IIB defect. None of the patients had pelvic discontinuity (PD).
resultsAt a mean 6.25 years follow-up, all hips remained well-fixed and implant survival of 100% with the need of re-revision as the end point. Screw fixation was used for all shells; augments and the shell-augment interface was cemented. Excellent pain relief (mean WOMAC score pain 90.5, (38.3 to 100)), and functional outcomes (mean WOMAC function 88.3 (31.9 to 100), mean OHS 89.2 (31.8 to 100)) were noted. Patient satisfaction scores were excellent.
conclusionThis study demonstrated satisfactory mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes of using TM shell and augment for reconstructing major acetabular defects without PD in revision THA.
