Total Hip Arthroplasty in Ochronotic Arthropathy: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure used to treat various hip conditions. However, patients with ochronotic arthropathy, a rare genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of homogentisic acid, are at a higher risk of post-surgical dislocation and instability due to poor bone quality and joint degeneration. Case Report: This case study features a 52-year-old male patient diagnosed with ochronotic arthropathy who underwent bilateral THA with the use of a dual mobility cup (DMC). Ochronotic arthropathy had caused significant joint degeneration and stiffness, leading to considerable functional impairment. Conclusion: The application of a DMC in THA for patients with ochronotic arthropathy has shown promising outcomes. The DMC offers increased range of motion and improved stability, effectively reducing the risk of post-surgical dislocation and implant failure. This case study highlights the potential of DMC as a viable solution for addressing the challenges posed by poor bone quality in patients with ochronotic arthropathy undergoing THA.
