Reverse dynamics analysis of contact force and muscle activities during the golf swing after total hip arthroplasty.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
There are no reports on hip kinetics including contact forces and muscle activities during the golf swing after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of three-dimensional dynamics during the golf swing. Ten unilateral primary THA patients participated in motion capture test of their driver golf swing. The driver swing produced approximately 20-30° of rotation in both lead and trail replaced hips. The mean hip contact forces (HCFs) of lead and trail replaced hips were 5.1 and 6.6 × body weight, respectively. Left and right THAs showed similar HCFs of lead and trail hips. More than 60% of the Percent maximum voluntary isometric contraction was found in bilateral iliopsoas muscles in all unilateral THA. Three factors [female sex, lower modified Harris Hip Score, and higher HCF of surgical side] were associated with the golf-related replacement hip pain. Golf is an admissible sport after THA because driver swings do not contribute excessive rotation or contact forces to hip prostheses. HCF could be reduced through swing adjustments, which may allow patients with golf-related replacement hip pain to develop a comfortable golf game free from pain.
