Clinical outcomes of DAA and related techniques in hip arthroplasty.
Review in Arthroplasty (London, England), 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
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been one of the most successful surgical interventions in recent memory and is nicknamed by some the "Surgery of the Century". Over the past decade, there has been a drastic change in THA management with the rise of the direct anterior approach both globally and in the USA market. While many would remark that this has been driven by false marketing, it is clear that the direct anterior approach can be an effective and safe way to perform a THA.It is the goal of this review to highlight evidence of its outcomes and clinical advantages, in particular, how it can decrease dislocation, even in high-risk individuals, and result in faster recovery in the early postoperative period with decreased muscular inflammation. We will also highlight its major disadvantages, including but not limited to increased wound complications and risk for periprosthetic fracture. Hopefully, this review will provide up-to-date information on the current state of the direct anterior approach and provide recommendations on patients that would be optimal candidates for this technique.
