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

Aim: Our study aims to analyze the outcomes of conversion total hip replacement (THR) done for failed hemiarthroplasty. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 104 consecutive patients who underwent conversion THR for failed hemiarthroplasty between January 2012 and December 2018. The patient's records were analyzed for demographic information, index surgery details, preoperative functional status, and perioperative complications. Patients were analyzed according to the various modes of failure of hemiarthroplasty. The radiographs were analyzed for any progressive osteolysis, cup migration and stem subsidence. All the patients were evaluated using the modified Harris hip score (HHS) for clinical outcome. Complications, revision or reoperation in the follow-up period was recorded. Results: A total of 73 patients were included in the study for final analysis after exclusion criteria. The average follow-up was 48.2 ± 29.6 months. There was a significant improvement in mean HHS from 38.5 ± 9.1 preoperatively to 80.9 ± 4.3 at the last follow-up ( Conclusion: Conversion THR for failed hemiarthroplasty is a challenging procedure and results in good functional outcome and provides reliable pain relief. Conversion THA for septic loosening by two stage revision have comparable postoperative outcomes like THA for aseptic loosening. Caution is required owing to high incidence of peri-prosthetic fracture during conversion THA. Dislocation rate is negligible even with smaller head provided the prosthesis is implanted in the proper orientation and adequate soft tissue balancing is achieved.
