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

Adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR) from the release of chromium and cobalt ions in metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (MoM THA) is a well-reported complication, but there is little evidence suggesting that this inflammatory reaction causes malignancy. We present a 69-year-old female with MoM THA who developed synovial sarcoma (SS). She underwent mass resection and revision THA. Postoperative pathologic analysis revealed the unanticipated diagnosis of SS. She subsequently underwent chemotherapy, sarcoma resection, and endoprosthetic reconstruction. We hypothesize that the SS developed from an ALTR in the setting of failed MoM THA. Given the paucity of data on possible malignant transformation of an ALTR to SS, we advise surgeons to consider potential malignancies when diagnosing ALTR in the setting of failed MoM THA bearings.
