Wear, Osteolysis, and Aseptic Loosening Following Total Hip Arthroplasty in Young Patients with Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene: A Review of Studies with a Follow-Up of over 15 Years.
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 17 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 in recent years trended toward a younger, more physically demanding patient population. Mid- to long-term studies of all ages of THA patients using highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) have been favorable, but concerns about its long-term failure and wear-related complications remain for young THA patients. In this narrative review, a search of the PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane databases was performed, and we identified six studies with a minimum 15-year follow-up of HXLPE with various femoral head materials. Wear-related revisions were exceedingly low for patients under the age of 55, with variable reports of non-clinically significant osteolysis. Higher activity levels, a larger femoral head size, and femoral head material were not associated with greater long-term wear rates. Young THA with metal or ceramic on HXLPE is exceedingly durable with favorable outcomes at follow-ups of over 15 years.
