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

Introduction: We present a case report of a total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a patient with ipsilateral knee arthrodesis. The direct anterior approach (DAA) was used, and to our knowledge, this has never been described previously in the literature. The purpose of this report is to highlight pre-, per-, and post-operative challenges using the DAA in these rare cases. Case Report: This case report presents the case of a 77 year old female patient with degenerative hip disease in the presence of an ipsilateral arthrodesis of the knee. The patient was operated using the DAA. No complications were found and the patient had an excellent follow-up with a forgotten joint score of 93.75 at 1 year. The difficulty in this case consists in finding the correct stem anteversion with the altered knee anatomy. Using pre-operative templating on X-rays, intraoperative fluoroscopy and the posterior femoral neck the hip biomechanics could be restored. Conclusion: We believe that THA in presence of an ipsilateral knee arthrodesis can be safely performed through a DAA.
