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
Background: This study aims to assess the psychosocial impact of the scars resulting from total hip arthroplasties (THA) in terms of internalization and adaptation related to the etiology of the joint damage (traumatic versus non-traumatic) and the specific surgical procedure, by using a modern approach. Methods: A prospective study was carried out between October 2020 and September 2022, at the Orthopedics department, Bihor Emergency County Clinical Hospital in Oradea, located in North-west of Romania. Depending on diagnosis, the participants were divided into two relatively homogeneous groups: non-traumatic group with 113 subjects (55.66%) diagnosed with degenerative hip osteoarthritis and traumatic group with 90 (44.33%) patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) following a trauma. Results: The highest internalization score was noted in uncemented THA cases performed as a consequence of traumatic coxarthrosis. The ANOVA coefficients of intergroup comparisons for the participants with traumatic coxarthrosis indicate that surgical procedures have a significant influence on scar internalization [F (2, 90) = 10.046; p<0.001; η2=0.188]. Scheffe's post hoc test indicated that patients with non-traumatic coxarthrosis who underwent uncemented THA procedures presented a higher level of psychosocial internalization compared to those who underwent cemented (Mdf = 3.87; p<0.02) and revision THA (Mdf = 4.60; p<0.004), but without surprising differences compared to revision of the soft tissue (Mdf = 3.31; p<0.08). Conclusions: The relevance of the coxarthrosis etiology for subsequent surgical interventions was emphasized in this study. Coxarthrosis has a strong impact on the psychosocial internalization of postoperative scars, which indicates a change in the perception of social support as well as the perception of the quality of life.
