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

Sarcoma arising at the site of a total hip arthroplasty (THA) is uncommon. We present a case report of a patient diagnosed with an osteosarcoma around a ceramic-on-ceramic THA and a narrative literature review of sarcomas around THA. A search of PubMed MEDLINE was performed from inception. Our case report was included in the analysis. A total of 13 studies were included in the review. We report the first case of a sarcoma around a ceramic-on-ceramic hip implant. All cases in the literature reported poor outcomes with an average time from index THA to diagnosis of 9.3 ± 8.2 years. Sarcomas around THA are extremely rare. Despite the rarity of the diagnosis, osteosarcoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis when investigating a periprosthetic mass.
