The Relationship between Femoral Stem Tilt and Stem Length in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.
Article in Clinics in orthopedic surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: The current trend of using short femoral stems in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with angular deviation of the femoral stem towards the native femoral axis. The purpose of this study was to compare the difference in stem tilt angle between two different stems with a similar design except for the stem length. Methods: This is a retrospective review of 66 patients who underwent primary THA between April 2012 and May 2016, using a trans-gluteal direct lateral approach by a single surgeon. We evaluated the femoral stem tilt angle in both the coronal and sagittal planes and performed multivariate logistic regression analysis to evaluate possible risk factors. We also simulated the range of motion (ROM) of the hip joint using three-dimensional computer-aided design software (SolidWorks, 2016) to examine the clinical significance of femoral stem tilt. Results: The mean coronal tilt angle was 1.8° ± 1.0° in the conventional stem group and 1.6° ± 1.1° in the short stem group, showing no statistically significant difference between the groups ( Conclusions: Anterior femoral stem tilting in the sagittal plane was prominent when the shorter stem was used, and anterior tilting was responsible for decreased ROM in hip extension.
