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

backgroundOsteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) may occur in the adolescent and younger adults (AYAs). Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not the best treatment option for younger patients. Surgical hip dislocation (SHD) combined with bone graft can be used in patients at different stages to reconstruct the bone structure in the head and delay the replacement time. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect and potential influencing factors of this surgery for ONFH in AYA patients. 

methodsWe conducted a literature review and a retrospective research of our own cases. The Pubmed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE and CNKI databases were searched from 1 January 2001 to 1 October 2021, for clinical studies. A retrospective case series study of 34 patients (38 hips) treated with SHD combined with bone graft was performed.

resultsA total of 13 studies were included and the results showed that SHD combined with bone grafts had better clinical results for patients with pre- or early post-collapse. In the case series study, we retrospectively analyzed 34 patients (38 hips), and the mean follow-up time was 40.77 ± 15.87 months. One patient died and three patients were converted to THA finally. The post-collapse degree and post-lesion size were better than those before the operation (P < 0.05). The iHOT-12 at the last follow-up was significantly higher than that before the operation (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in the results of hip Harris score (HHS), visual analogue scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) before the operation, 2 years after the operation and at the last follow-up, but the difference was not related to the follow-up time (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the final clinical score and arthritic changes among different Japanese Investigation Committee (JIC) classification, the degree of collapse and the size of the necrotic (P > 0.05).

conclusionsIn AYA patients, SHD combined with bone grafting is a potentially good option for hip preservation in ONFH. The differences in JIC classification, collapse degree and lesion size did not affect the final clinical function and the risk of osteoarthritis. Even for very severe cases at collapsed stage, good short-term clinical effects can still be achieved by SHD combined with bone graft.
