An Intraoperative Method to Minimize Leg Length Discrepancy in Anterior Minimally Invasive Total Hip Arthroplasty-A Prospective Study.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
While several intraoperative devices have been described in the literature for assessing leg length discrepancy (LLD), none have been utilized during total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed via the Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery (AMIS) approach. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and accuracy of a compass device in assessing leg length during THA performed using the AMIS technique. A prospective study was conducted involving 35 patients who consecutively underwent unilateral primary THA using the AMIS technique at our department from September 2017 to December 2018. LLD was measured by comparing preoperative and postoperative anteroposterior radiographs of the pelvis, independently assessed by two observers. The mean preoperative LLD was 3.6 (SD 3.9, range, 0.2-19.3) mm. The mean postoperative LLD was 2.5 (SD 3.0, range, 0-12.2) mm. A postoperative LLD of less than 5 mm was observed in 88.2% of cases, with 94.1% having values less than 10 mm. In conclusion, the compass device emerged as a valuable tool for ensuring precise limb length control in THA with the AMIS approach, offering both efficiency and cost-effectiveness in clinical practice.
