Case Series of Silver Oxide-Containing Hydroxyapatite Coating in Antibacterial Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty: Clinical Results of 50 Cases at 5-Year Follow-Up.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background: Prosthetic joint infection, which is caused by implant treatment, is a severe complication. Consequently, silver-containing hydroxyapatite (Ag-HA)-coated implants have been developed to prevent prosthetic joint infection by combining Ag with HA. The Ag-HA-coated total hip prosthesis, which combines the antibacterial activity of Ag and the osteoconductivity of HA, is the first antibacterial cementless total hip prosthesis worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with Ag-HA-coated implants. Methods: Overall, 50 hips with various disabling hip diseases and postoperative infection risks that underwent a primary THA using an Ag-HA total hip prosthesis were enrolled. The patients included 37 women (41 hips) and 8 men (9 hips), and the mean age at the time of surgery was 77 years. The clinical outcomes and hip function before and at 5 years postoperatively were measured using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association hip score. Implant stability was assessed, and postoperative complications were also examined. Results: The Japanese Orthopaedic Association score increased in all cases and improved from 41 to 86 points after the THA ( Conclusions: Silver-containing hydroxyapatite-coated implants significantly enhanced patients' daily activities without any adverse effects on the human body attributed to Ag, and they are expected to reduce postoperative infections.
