Relative frequency of avascular necrosis of the hip as indication for primary Total Hip Arthroplasty in the USA vs. India.
Article in Journal of orthopaedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 15 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
Introduction: Background: Primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is performed for a variety of pathologies. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common indication for THA in the United States of America (USA). The study aims to establish the incidence of indications for THA in the USA as compared to India and to assess whether Avascular Necrosis (AVN) of the Hip is a more frequent indication for THA in India than in the USA. Methods: The National Inpatient Sample database (USA) and two Indian databases (one national and one regional) were analyzed to identify all patients who underwent primary THA within the databases. The relative frequencies of each indication for THA were determined. The patients' demographics and risk factors for AVN of the hip were recorded and assessed. The data were then compared across the patients in the USA and the patients in India. Results: 225,061 primary THA patients were identified in the USA database and 20,288 in the Indian database. The proportion of primary THA performed for AVN in the American database (5.97%) was significantly lower than the proportion of THA performed for AVN in the Indian database (51.8%). Conclusion: The relative frequency of AVN as an indication for THA is significantly higher in India than in the USA. It is important to recognize the differences in relative indications for THA between world populations, as outcomes after THA among Eastern populations of the world may not be equivalent to ones seen in their Western counterparts.
