Evaluation of Mechanically-Assisted Crevice Corrosion of Different Modular Dual Mobility Constructs.
Article in The Journal of arthroplasty, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundModular dual mobility (MDM) acetabular component use is rising in total hip arthroplasty. However, concern of mechanically assisted crevice corrosion (MACC) at the shell-liner interface remains. We investigated shell-liner corrosion using retrieval analyses and corrosion chamber testing.
methodsWe analyzed fretting and corrosion on 10 matched pairs of 2 commercial MDM constructs (MDM1 and MDM2). Also, pristine pairs of Ti6Al4V shells and CoCrMo liners from 3 commercial dual mobility systems (MDM1, MDM2, and MDM3) were tested in vitro to model MACC performance. Three pairs of each were placed into an electrochemical chamber with stepwise increasing cyclic compression loads while measuring currents generated at the shell-liner taper. Onset fretting loads and fretting currents were calculated.
resultsCorrosion damage scores on retrieved components were low but higher in the MDM2 to MDM1 liners (P = .006), specifically outside the taper region (P = .00003). Fretting currents were higher in the MDM2 than in MDM1 or MDM3 (P = .011). Onset loads were also higher in the MDM2 (P = .001).
conclusionAmong retrieved liners, MDM2 tapers seem prone to non-mechanical corrosion modes. Higher onset loads and fretting currents in MDM2 tapers indicate greater MACC resistance but higher severity once corrosion begins. Differences among the devices were likely due to taper design and surface finish. Currents in all 3 were <5 μA, much lower than those observed with head-neck tapers. Our findings suggest that, among the types of corrosion observed in these MDM designs, mechanically driven corrosion may not be the most significant.
