Risk Factors and Predictors for Functional Outcome and Complication Rate in Total Hip Arthroplasty through Minimally Invasive and Conventional Approaches: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Analysis of 41 Randomized Controlled Trials.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
objectiveTo investigate and identify risk factors and predictors for the difference in functional outcome and complications between total hip arthroplasty (THA) through minimally invasive and conventional approaches, using a meta-regression analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
methodsA systematic review of the literature up to 31 July 2022 was performed. A meta-regression was conducted based on a random effects meta-analysis using the Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman method.
resultsA total of 41 RCTs with 3607 patients were found. The following predictors of HHS ≥ 6 months postoperatively were identified: patient age (predictor estimate = 0.14;
conclusionsPatient age, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and incision length were identified as predictors of the effect size of the HHS ≥ 6 months postoperatively; and osteoarthritis, femoral neck fracture, and SuperPATH as predictors of the effect size of the complication rate. Based on these findings, we recommend that more frequent use of minimally invasive THA in elderly patients should be considered. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I: a systematic review of all relevant randomized controlled trials. Registered in PROSPERO on 10 August 2022 (CRD42022350287).
