Late Atraumatic Ceramic Head Fracture in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Atraumatic ceramic femoral head fracture is an uncommon but overwhelming complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). The complication rate is low, with few reports in the literature. It is critical to continue researching late fracture risk to mitigate these instances. Case Report: A 68-year-old Caucasian female presented with an atraumatic ceramic femoral head fracture in the setting of a ceramic-on-ceramic THA 17 years after primary surgery. The patient was successfully revised to a dual-mobility construct with a ceramic femoral head and a highly cross-linked polyethylene liner. The patient returned to normal function without pain. Conclusion: The complication rate for fracture of the ceramic femoral head is as low as 0.001% for fourth-generation aluminum matrix composite designs, while the complication rate of late atraumatic ceramic fracture is largely unknown. We present this case to add to the current literature.
