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
purposeMinimally invasive total hip arthroplasty (MITHA) is a treatment for hip arthritis, and it causes less tissue trauma, blood loss, and recovery time. However, the limited incision makes it difficult for surgeons to perceive the instruments' location and orientation. Computer-assisted navigation systems can help improve the medical outcome of MITHA. Directly applying existing navigation systems for MITHA, however, suffers from problems of bulky fiducial marker, severe feature-loss, multiple instruments tracking confusion, and radiation exposure. To tackle these problems, we propose an image-guided navigation system for MITHA using a novel position-sensing marker.
methodsA position-sensing marker is proposed to serve as the fiducial marker with high-density and multi-fold ID tags. It results in less feature span and enables the use of ID for each feature, overcoming the problem of bulky fiducial markers and multiple instruments tracking confusion. And the marker can be recognized even when a large part of locating features is obscured. As for the elimination of intraoperative radiation exposure, we propose a point-based method to achieve patient-image registration based on anatomical landmarks.
resultsQuantitative experiments are conducted to evaluate the feasibility of our system. The accuracy of instrument positioning is achieved at 0.33 ± 0.18 mm, and that of patient-image registration is achieved at 0.79 ± 0.15 mm. And qualitative experiments are also performed, verifying that our system can be used in compact surgical spatial volume and can address severe feature-loss and tracking confusion problems. In addition, our system does not require any intraoperative medical scans.
conclusionExperimental results indicate that our proposed system can assist surgeons without larger space occupations, radiation exposure, and extra incision, showing its potential application value in MITHA.
