Which patient-specific parameters correlate with operation time for total hip arthroplasty? - A retrospective analysis of the direct anterior approach.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThe current study aims to identify patient-specific factors that correlate with operation time for total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed via the direct anterior approach (DAA).
methodsIn this retrospective study, patient-specific factors were tabulated from the charts and measured from preoperative templating radiographs. These factors were correlated with operation time by bivariate analysis. Significant factors were used for stepwise multiple regression analysis.
resultsNine hundred-sixty procedures were included. BMI (R = 0.283), the distance from the superior iliac spine to the greater trochanter (DAA Plane) (R = - 0.154), patients age (R = 0.152) and the abdominal fat flap (R = 0.134) showed the strongest correlations (p < 0.005) with operation time. The multiple regression model including BMI, Kellgren and Lawrence Score, Age, DAA Plane and the Canal to Calcar ratio had the best predictive accuracy (corrected R
conclusionsPatient-specific factors that make the entry into the femur difficult correlate significantly with operation time of THA via the DAA.
