Save the Greater Trochanter: A Novel Modification to the Extended Trochanteric Osteotomy.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The extended trochanteric osteotomy is the workhorse for removal of well-fixed femoral stems during total hip revision arthroplasty. Despite its reliable performance in exposing the implants for removal and accessing the femoral canal, significant complications can occur. Though these complications are rare, trochanteric nonunion, trochanteric escape, and femoral implant subsidence can have a significant negative impact on gait mechanics and patient outcome. If access to the canal was still possible and the greater trochanter could remain in place, these complications could be minimized or possibly even eliminated. This paper describes a novel technique using a lateral cortical window just distal to the greater trochanter that allows removal of a well-fixed stem and leaves the greater trochanter intact.
