Common peroneal nerve palsy after primary total hip arthroplasty.
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 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe study wants to evaluate the incidence, the clinical evolution, and treatment of common peroneal nerve (CPN) palsy after primary total hip arthroplasty.
methodsOur clinical prospective study was made between January 2016 and December 2020. The study group comprised 1240 total hip replacements over a period of five years. Six cases were diagnosed with CPN palsy (0.48%). Five were women and one man, aged from 52 to 71 years old. The common peroneal nerve lesion was diagnosed clinically and by electromyography.
resultsThe follow-up period was at least 24 months post-operatively. In all six cases, there was a complete common peroneal nerve palsy, documented by electromyography. The poorest results were obtained in the older patients and those who had the highest body mass index, which at two years post-operatively achieved only a partial sensory rehabilitation, with complete motor deficit. All patients can walk unassisted, without support, with one case having complete rehabilitation achieved 18 months postoperatively and three with partial rehabilitation.
conclusionCPN palsy after primary THA is a very serious complication with poor functional outcome. There is no consensus regarding the treatment. The age and the intensity of the rehabilitation program are the only significant factors for the medical rehabilitation after this debilitating post-operative complication.
