Current indications for acute total hip arthroplasty in older patients with acetabular fracture: Evidence in 601 patients from 2002 to 2021.
Review in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: Older patient population with acetabular fractures is increasing rapidly, requiring enhanced recovery. Acute total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a good option for these patients, and it is becoming increasing popular. However, acute THA has different indications in different studies. Therefore, a systematic review is needed to assess and comprehend the indications for acute THA in older patients. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify a retrospective series or prospective studies in older patients (>60 years) with acetabular fractures. The search timeline was from database construction till December 2021; PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. Two trained professional reviewers independently read the full text of documents that met the inclusion criteria and extracted information on the specific methods used and indication information based on the research design. Results: In total, there were 601 patients with acetabular fractures aged >60 years from 33 studies were obtained. Twenty-eight studies reported that THA was a feasible treatment option for acetabular fractures in geriatric patients with good outcome. The primary indications were dome impaction, irreducible articular comminution, femoral head injury, and pre-existing osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis. The most common patterns were anterior column and posterior hemitransverse, posterior wall, both columns, and T-type. Conclusion: Acute THA is an effective treatment strategy for older patients with acetabular fractures and should be considered when the abovementioned indications are observed on preoperative images.
