Rate of revision and wear penetration in different polyethylene liner compositions in total hip arthroplasty: a Bayesian network meta-analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The present Bayesian network meta-analysis compared different types of polyethylene liners in total hip arthroplasty (THA) in terms of wear penetration (mm/year) and rate of revision. The type of liners compared were the crosslinked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (CPE/UHMWPE), Vitamin E infused highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE-VEPE), modified cross-linked polyethylene (MXLPE), highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE), Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE). This study was conducted according to the PRISMA extension statement for reporting systematic reviews incorporating network meta-analyses of healthcare interventions. In June 2024, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases were accessed. A time constraint was set from January 2000. All investigations which compared two or more types of polyethylene liners for THA were accessed. Only studies that clearly stated the nature of the liner were included. Data from 60 studies (37,352 THAs) were collected. 56% of patients were women. The mean age of patients was 60.0 ± 6.6 years, the mean BMI was 27.5 ± 2.0 kg/m
