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

introductionComputer tomography (CT) based navigation is considered by some authors as an advance in total hip arthroplasty (THA). A meta-analysis was conducted to compare CT based versus conventional THA in terms of surgical duration of the procedure, leg length difference, acetabular cup position, and rate of dislocation. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe present study was conducted according to the PRISMA 2020. In December 2022, the following databases were accessed: PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Embase with no time constrain. All the clinical studies comparing CT based navigation versus the conventional THA were accessed.

resultsData from 1801 procedures were collected. The mean age of the patients was 61.6 ± 5.3 years, and the mean BMI was 26.9 ± 2.3 kg/m

conclusionCT guided THA may have the potential to increase the accuracy of acetabular positioning and reduce the leg length discrepancy. Current evidence is very limited and heterogeneous, and no recommendations can be inferred. Further investigations are required to definitely clarify the role of CT based THA in current practice.
