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

purposeTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) after vascularized fibular grafting (VFG) is technically demanding with poorer outcomes compared to primary THA in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of THA after VFG after removal of the graft with that of primary THA.

methodsONFH patients treated by VFG at a single institution were studied retrospectively. THAs after VFG performed by single arthroplasty surgeon with a single type of THA prosthesis were enrolled in the study. A control cohort of patients was created by 1:1 matching with the THA after VFG cohort according to age, gender, and American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score from ONFH patients treated by primary THA. Early and long-term outcomes were compared between the two groups.

resultsA total of 24 hips were included in the THA after VFG group and compared with 24 primary THA hips. No significant difference was noted in stem position. The THA after VFG group had increased blood loss and longer duration of operation time. There were two cases of intraoperative femur fractures in the THA after VFG group. The femoral stem of both groups were stable, with no cases of revision, and similar HHS scores at the last follow-up.

conclusionTHA after VFG may have similar short to midterm outcomes with primary THA after removal of the residual abutting bone graft and correct positioning of the femoral stem.
