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

Background: Biomechanical reconstruction of the hip significantly impacts the clinical outcome and implant survival. Our knowledge is limited of the ability of neck-stabilised prostheses to restore hip biomechanics. We hypothesised that hip biomechanics, specifically leg length and global offset (GO), may be restored to an acceptable range using the Primoris™ stem. Methods and material: In this retrospective study, we analysed 152 patients who underwent total hip replacement (THA) using the short collum-fixated stem Primoris™.The primary outcomes were hip parameters measured by x-ray following THA using the Primoris™ stem. After surgery, the biomechanical parameters used were measured at the arthroplasty and the native contralateral side of the same x-ray. The X-rays were taken one year after the patient's surgery.1. GO.2. Leg length discrepancy (LLD).3. Neck shaft angle (NSA). Results: We recorded an average GO of -3.4 mm (standard deviation (SD) 7.2) and an average LLD of +3.8 mm (SD 6.4). Furthermore, we registered an average 14-degree NSA increase (SD 7.4). Conclusion: The Primoris™ neck-stabilised stem enabled hip anatomy restoration to a favourable range with respect to GO and LLD as the average difference fell within ±5 mm. However, the stem tended to be implanted in valgus.
