The Insertion of Threaded Acetabulum Components: Indications According to Specific Acetabulum Anatomy and Methods to Avoid Pitfalls.
Article in Cureus, 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
New-generation threaded acetabulum components have been used in total hip arthroplasty (THA) with good outcomes. We have extensively used the EcoFit® SC cup (Implantcast, Buxtehude, Germany) in our practice. In this report, we present some major complications related to the use of this implant, as well as insights regarding the surgical technique to avoid such adverse effects. Furthermore, we attempt to describe certain contraindications for using threaded cups in THA, taking into account specific patient anatomy and intraoperative acetabulum preparation. We have observed acetabulum roof and posterior wall fractures, as well as incomplete placement of the component. Ensuring the meticulous preparation of the peripheral rim of the acetabulum is crucial to prevent incomplete placement since threaded components have a larger diameter than that of the reamers used to prepare the acetabulum. Additionally, when dealing with the acetabula where the posterior or anterior walls have thinned, it is advisable to refrain from using a threaded cup to avoid the risk of intraoperative fractures caused by the torque forces exerted during implant insertion.
