Influence of obesity and intra-operative imaging guidance technology on acetabular cup positioning in total hip arthroplasty.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAccuracy of acetabular cup positioning during total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be improved with intra-operative imaging but may be influenced by body mass index (BMI). This study assessed the influence of BMI (kg/m
methodsThis retrospective review included four consecutive cohorts of patients having undergone anterior approach THA with IF alone (2011-2015), IF and Overlay (2015-2016) (Radlink Inc., Los Angeles, CA), IF and Grid (2017-2018) (HipGrid Drone™, OrthoGrid Systems Inc., Salt Lake City, UT) and IF and Digital (2018-2020) (OrthoGrid Phantom®, OrthoGrid Systems, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT). Component placement accuracy was measured on 6-week post-operative weight bearing radiographs and compared between four BMI patient groups (BMI ≤ 25, 25 < BMI ≤ 30, 30 < BMI ≤ 35, and 35 < BMI). Total fluoroscopy times were also recorded directly from the fluoroscopy unit.
resultsAbduction angle significantly increased as BMI increased (p = 0.003) with IF alone but no difference was present in groups with guidance technology. Anteversion was significantly different between BMI groups for IF alone (p = 0.028) and Grid (p = 0.027) but was not different in Overlay (p = 0.107) or Digital (p = 0.210). Fluoroscopy time was significantly different between BMI categories for IF alone (p = 0.005) and Grid (p = 0.018) but was not different in Overlay (p = 0.444) or Digital (p = 0.170).
conclusionMorbid obesity (BMI > 35) increases risk for malpositioning of acetabular cups and increases surgical time with IF alone or the Grid. Additional IF guidance technology (Overlay or Digital) increased cup positioning accuracy without decreasing surgical efficiency.
