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

Introduction: Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) affects the development of blood vessels, soft tissues (such as skin and muscles), and bone. It is a rare cause of severe degenerative joint disease at an early age. Orthopedic interventions in these patients bring numerous difficulties for various reasons. Up to this point, only six cases of attempted total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with KTS have been reported in the literature. The two most recent cases were prematurely aborted due to excessive bleeding and imminent risk of exsanguination. One of the most recent published case reports suggested that hip joint replacement should be avoided in this patient population. Case Report: A middle-aged female presented with end stage coxarthrosis secondary to KTS. A thorough workup was performed and magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the direct anterior interval was relatively free of vascular malformations. After intensive work-up, uneventful THA was performed, resulting in dramatic improvement of quality of life. Conclusion: Effort should be put into identifying those patients with a relatively easy accessible joint so they are not unnecessarily being denied successful joint replacement.
