Reactive Peri-Arthroplasty Pseudotumors: A Rare Cause of Hip Pain and Iatrogenic Sciatica.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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) is the preferred treatment for patients with hip joint disorders refractory to conservative management. While original implants were designed to articulate a metallic femoral head onto a polyethylene liner, the popularity of "metal-on-metal" (MoM) hip implants surged in the early 21st century due to their perceived superior long-term durability and lower revision rates. However, subsequent follow-up studies showed high failure rates due to inflammatory responses to periprosthetic metallic debris leading to lymphocytic proliferation, soft tissue necrosis or fibrosis, systemic metal toxicity, and/or the development of cystic pseudotumors. Although these discoveries resulted in a significant decrease in MoM THA and revision procedures, the majority of MoM hip implants persist in the adult population. In this case report and review, we report the presentation, diagnostic work-up, and management of an 84-year-old status-post MoM THA who presented with unilateral leg tenderness and poor ambulation secondary to pseudotumor-induced sciatica.
