1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 and Objectives: Precise acetabular cup placement is essential for successful total hip arthroplasty (THA). In obese patients, its accuracy is often difficult to achieve because of the thickness of the soft tissues. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the accuracy of acetabular cup angle and body mass index (BMI) in posterolateral THA using the computed tomography-based navigation (CT-navi) system. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 145 consecutive primary THAs using the CT-navi system between January 2015 and January 2018. All surgeries were performed using cementless cups employing the posterolateral approach with the patient in the decubitus position. We compared the radiographic inclination and anteversion obtained intraoperatively from the CT-navi with those measured by postoperative CT using three-dimensional templating software. We evaluated the relationship between the extent of errors and correlation with BMI. Results: In non-overweight patients (BMI < 25, 88 hips), the mean navigation errors for inclination were 2.8 ± 2.2° and for anteversion were 2.6 ± 2.3°. Meanwhile, in overweight patients (BMI ≥ 25, 57 hips), the mean navigation errors were 2.6 ± 2.4° for inclination and 2.4 ± 2.4° for anteversion. We found no significant difference between overweight and non-overweight patients in both inclination and anteversion. There was no correlation between the extent of errors and BMI. Conclusions: In posterolateral THA, CT-navi can aid the precise placement of the acetabular cup irrespective of a patient’s BMI.
