The Use of a High Offset Fully Coated Collarless Cementless Stem Does Not Result in Early Failures in Total Hip Arthroplasty.

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
introductionThe Corail femoral stem has excellent long-term survivorship in total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, there remains a paucity of information on the specific performance of the high offset collarless stem in relation to subsidence, loosening, offset, and failure rates.
methodsRetrospective data were collected on all consecutive high offset collarless Corail stems implanted at a single centre in the UK. Data included patient demographics, femoral Dorr classification, radiographic analysis for radiolucent lines, and stem subsidence. The postoperative femoral offset was measured against the native offset of the contralateral hip. Any early failures, re-operations, or requirements for revision surgery were recorded.
resultsWe identified 162 stems for inclusion in the study. Ninety-five patients were male. The mean age was 60.5 (40 to 78) years, and the mean BMI was 29.8 (21 to 50) kg/m
conclusionThe use of a high offset stem can accurately reproduce native femoral offset when chosen for THA. The high offset collarless Corail stem does not result in early failures in THA, and we support its use.
