1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study analyzed the migration of a calcar-guided short stem to determine the course of very early migration, as well as evaluated the effect of an additional calcium phosphate (CP) coating on a titanium plasma spray (TPS) coating, which has not been analyzed previously. Sixty patients were enrolled in this study and were treated with the A2 calcar-guided short stem. The implant coating was randomized with either the TPS or an additional CP coating, and radiostereometric analysis was performed with the baseline measurement before initial weight-bearing, along with follow-up examinations at 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Implant migrations were 0.27 mm (standard deviation [SD], 0.13 mm) and 0.74 mm (SD, 1.11 mm) at 1 week and 6 months post-surgery, respectively, and 65% and 87% of the implants reached their final position 1 week and 6 weeks after surgery, respectively. After 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months, a significant increase was noted in the migration of the CP coating group vs. that of the TPS coating group. Upon the final observation at 6 months, the groups displayed on average a 0.74-mm migration. Most of the analyzed implants ceased migration within the first week post-surgery, but the CP coating demonstrated a higher and more prolonged migration compared to the TPS coating.
