Changes of the coronal lumbar-pelvic-femoral alignment after conversion total hip arthroplasty in patients with unilateral ankylosed hip.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
To elucidate the changes in coronal lumbar-pelvic-femoral alignment after conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with unilateral ankylosed hip. A retrospective radiologic study of 48 patients (48 hips) with unilateral hip arthrodesis who underwent conversion THA was conducted. Cobb's angle of lumbar scoliosis (LS), the pelvic obliquity (PO) angle, and the hip adduction angle (HAA) on standing anterior-posterior spine-pelvis-hip radiographs were measured before and after THA. The differences of LS, PO, and HAA before and after THA were defined as ΔLS, ΔPO, and ΔHAA, respectively. A paired samples t-test or the Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to compare the absolute values of the LS, PO, and HAA between preoperative and postoperative groups. The Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) or Spearman's correlation coefficient (ρ) was calculated to assess the relationship between ΔLS, ΔPO, and ΔHAA and possible associated factors. Significant differences were found in the preoperative LS (mean, 10.8° vs. 8.2°, p = 0.004), PO (median, 6.8° vs. 2.0°, p < 0.001), and HAA (median, 10.0° vs. 6.0°, p = 0.003). ΔLS was correlated with the preoperative LS (ρ = - 0.621, p < 0.001), PO (ρ = - 0.580, p < 0.001), and HAA (ρ = - 0.467, p < 0.001). ΔPO was correlated with the preoperative LS (r = - 0.596, p < 0.001), PO (ρ = - 0.892, p < 0.001), and HAA (ρ = - 0.728, p < 0.001). ΔHAA was correlated with the preoperative LS (r = - 0.583, p < 0.001), PO (ρ = - 0.751, p < 0.001), and HAA (ρ = - 0.824, p < 0.001). LS, PO, and HAA were significantly improved after conversion THA. Greater improvement in LS, PO, and HAA can be expected in patients with larger preoperative LS, PO, and HAA values.
