Comparison of clinical outcomes between total hip replacement and total knee replacement.
Article in World journal of orthopedics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundTotal hip replacements (THR) and total knee replacements (TKR) are effective treatments for severe osteoarthritis (OA). Some studies suggest clinical outcomes following THR are superior to TKR, the reason for which remains unknown. This study compares clinical outcomes between THR and TKR.
aimTo compare the clinic outcomes of THR anad TKR using a comprehensive range of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs).
methodsA prospective longitudinal observational study of patients with OA undergoing THR and TKR were evaluated using a comprehensive range of generic and joint specific PROMs pre- and post-operatively.
resultsA total of 131 patients were included in the study which comprised the THR group (68 patients) and the TKR group (63 patients). Both groups demonstrated significant post-operative improvements in all PROM scores (
conclusionContrary to some literature, THR and TKR are equally efficacious in alleviating the pain and disability of OA when assessed using a comprehensive range of PROMs. The varying knee prosthesis types and hip fixation techniques did not significantly influence clinical outcome. Obesity had a greater influence on the outcome following TKR than that of THR.
