LIGAMENT PRESERVING TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY PREVENTS DIFFERENT LEG LENGTH AND FEMORAL OFFSET.
Article in Acta ortopedica brasileira, 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
Objectives: The leg length (LL) and femoral offset (FO) discrepancy following total hip arthroplasty (THA) are important factors for postoperative outcomes and restoring native hip biomechanics is essential for THA. Hip capsular ligament contributes to joint stability; however, there are few studies about the influence of ligament preservation on LLD and FO following THA. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study involving 60 patients who underwent primary THA using a short stem through the anterolateral approach between June 2016 and August 2018. From August 2017, we preserved the vertical band of iliofemoral ligament and the pubofemoral ligament in THA, and the compared pre- and postoperative radiographic LLD and FO difference between the ligament preservation (n = 30) and ligament excision (n = 30) groups. Results: Postoperative LLD was significantly smaller in the ligament preservation than in the ligament excision group. The ratio of excessive LLD and FO difference was lower in the ligament preservation group than the ligament excision one. Conclusion: The preservation of the hip capsular ligament suppressed the increased LLD and FO difference.
