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

The correct cup position in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is usually assessed on anteroposterior low centered pelvic radiographs, harboring the risk of misinterpretation due to projection of a three-dimensional geometry on a two-dimensional plane. In the current study, we evaluate the effect of this parallax effect on the cup inclination and anteversion in THA. In the course of a prospective clinical trial, 116 standardized low centered pelvic radiographs, as routinely obtained after THA, were evaluated regarding the impact of central beam deviation on the cup inclination and anteversion angles. Measurements of the horizontal and vertical beam offset with two different methods of parallax correction were compared with each other. Furthermore, the effect of parallax correction on the accuracy ofmeasuring the cup position was investigated. The mean difference between the two parallax correction methods was 0.2° ± 0.1° (from 0° to 0.4°) for the cup inclination and 0.1° ± 0.1° (from -0.1° to 0.2°) for the anteversion. For a typically intended cup position of a 45° inclination and 15° anteversion, the parallax effect led to a mean error of -1.5° ± 0.3° for the inclination and 0.6° ± 1.0° for the anteversion. Central beam deviation resulted in a projected higher cup inclination up to 3.7°, and this effect was more prominent in cups with higher anteversion. In contrast, the projected inclination decreased due to the parallax effect up to 3.2°, especially in cups with high inclination. The parallax effect on routinely obtained low centered pelvic radiographs is low and not clinically relevant due to the compensating effect of simultaneous medial and caudal central beam deviation.
