Post-operative complications following total hip arthroplasty for trauma: A multicentre cohort study comparing dual mobility with conventional acetabular bearings.

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
Aims: Dislocation of a total hip replacement is a serious complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Dislocation rates are higher when surgery is performed following trauma. Our study compares post-operative dislocation rates between conventional acetabular bearing (CAB) and dual mobility acetabular bearing (DMB) THA performed for neck of femur fracture alongside post-operative periprosthetic fracture, revision and mortality. Methods: A retrospective multicentre cohort study at 9 hospital trusts in the United Kingdom of all THA performed for neck of femur fracture between March 2018 and February 2019. Results: A total of 295 operations were performed. 64% (189) were CAB and 36% (106) were DMB. Average age was 75 years (38-98). 223 Female: 72 Male. The follow-up period was an average of 42 months (36-48). Overall revision rate was 1.6%, Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that the risk of dislocation following THA for trauma is more than four times higher than when conventional bearings are used compared to dual mobility acetabular components. This effect is most pronounced when the PA is utilised for the index procedure. The use of these bearings does not impact mortality, peri-prosthetic fracture or revision rate. We would encourage the use of dual mobility acetabular bearings in patients undergoing THA for fracture via a PA.
