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

There are instances where a patient's prosthetic hip is unable to be dislocated intraoperatively during a conversion or revision arthroplasty, despite scar removal and standard dislocation maneuvers. We describe a technique that involves an in situ disassociation of the femoral head component from the trunnion without the need for additional osteotomies. This maneuver may be beneficial in cases of protrusio, muscular stiffness, high soft tissue tension, arthrofibrosis, and ankylosis due to heterotopic ossification, as well as cases that involve a large femoral head or acetabular constraint. We also present a case of a 61-year-old male with a chronic prosthetic hip infection who underwent a two-stage revision surgery where this technique was utilized.
