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

Introduction: Rare cases of Biolox® delta ceramic head fractures in ceramic-on-polyethylene bearings have been reported in the literature. Virtually none of these catastrophic injuries have been documented in dual mobility constructs. Case Report: We report a case of fourth-generation delta ceramic head fracture 4.5 years after implantation in a dual mobility total hip replacement constructs as a result of a ground-level fall. The patient underwent revision arthroplasty with another delta ceramic dual mobility construct and was able to return to work in custodial services 2 weeks after the revision procedure. Conclusion: In summary, we presented an extremely uncommon case of a fractured fourth generation, Biolox® delta ceramic head in a dual mobility total hip arthroplasty (THA), as a result of a ground-level fall. The patient underwent successful revision surgery to another dual mobility delta ceramic THA. Despite substantial advances in ceramic materials, catastrophic failure of 4th generation ceramic head components can still occur even in dual mobility constructs and require revision arthroplasty surgery.
