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

Cerebral palsy (CP) often results in severe hip issues, disrupting musculoskeletal development and mobility due to problems such as dislocations and contractures, aggravated by spasticity and heightened muscular tone. While total hip arthroplasty (THA) is required in CP patients, the procedure carries high risks due to concerns about dislocation and wear. This study explores a method of intraoperative navigation to precisely execute preoperative strategies for spinopelvic alignment and optimal cup placement. We discuss a case of a 22-year-old male CP patient with bilateral hip dislocations who experienced significant discomfort, impeding mobility and affecting his performance as a Paralympic rower. He underwent bilateral hip replacement surgeries, guided by preoperative gait analysis and imaging, with navigation aiding in accurate acetabular component placement and correction of excessive femoral anteversion using a modular stem. The patient achieved excellent stability in both standing and rowing postures. Overall, computer navigation enhances complex hip repair by facilitating intraoperative data collection and precise execution of preoperative plans. This approach may extend the lifespan of prostheses, particularly by achieving precise acetabular component placement based on spinopelvic alignment principles, thereby offering significant benefits for CP patients undergoing THA.
