Cemented and hybrid total hip arthroplasty lead to lower blood loss in primary total hip arthroplasty: a retrospective study.

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
backgroundLittle scientific evidence exists on blood loss and transfusion rates depending on the fixation technique. The hypothesis of this study was that the blood loss and transfusion rate are lower in cemented and hybrid total hip arthroplasty (THA) compared to cementless THA.
methodsWe retrospectively compared a total of 1500 patients who received either cementless, cemented, hybrid or reverse hybrid THA. All patients underwent THA in 2021 at a single orthopedic center in Germany.
resultsThe lowest blood loss was found in patients who received a fully cemented THA (695 ± 74 ml). Hybrid THA with a cemented stem showed a blood loss of 845 ± 30 ml and reverse hybrid THA showed the highest blood loss with an average of 994 ± 74 ml. Cementless THA caused an average blood loss of 957 ± 16 ml. There was a significant difference between cementless THA, hybrid THA (cemented stem), and fully cemented THA (p < 0.05). Transfusion rates ranged from 1.3% (cementless THA) to 7.9% (cemented THA) between the groups with a transfusion rate of 2.5% overall.
conclusionWe found significantly lower blood loss in cemented THA and hybrid THA compared to cementless THA. Although blood loss was lower in cemented and hybrid THA, this did not result in lower transfusion rates. This could be due to other confounders such as age, comorbidities, and preoperative anemia.
