A propensity score-matched comparison between Mako robotic arm-assisted system and conventional technique in total hip arthroplasty for patients with osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip.

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
backgroundThe clinical effectiveness of robotic arm-assisted systems remains unclear for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients suffering from osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
methodsPatients with DDH who underwent primary THA were included in this study. We conducted a propensity score-matched comparison between THAs using a robotic arm-assisted system (Mako group) versus those using the manual procedure (manual group) to compare the absolute differences in cup placement angles measured using postoperative computed tomography and those planned preoperatively.
resultsA total of 217 patients with osteoarthritis due to DDH met the inclusion criteria. Eighty-four patients were matched as the Mako group and 84 as the manual group. The differences were smaller in the Mako group than the manual group in terms of both inclination and anteversion angles (1.1 ± 1.0 versus 4.2 ± 3.1, respectively; 95% CI, 2.4 to 3.8; p < 0.0001, and 1.2 ± 1.1 versus 5.8 ± 4.0, respectively; 95% CI, 3.7 to 5.5; p < 0.0001).
conclusionsThe robotic arm-assisted system may provide more accurate cup placement in THA for DDH.
