Biological Agent and Total Hip Arthroplasty in Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Article in Hip & pelvis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Purpose: Therapies for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have shown significant improvement since the introduction of biological agents (BIO) in 2003 and Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) in 2013 in Japan. The rate of orthopedic surgery, including total hip arthroplasties (THA), may reflect trends in disease severity, management, and health outcomes. Materials and Methods: An analysis of data on THAs performed at our institutes for treatment of RA with BIO or non-BIO therapy from 2004 to 2021 was conducted. Results: A total of 40,328 orthopedic surgeries, including 5,938 primary THAs and 204 RA-THAs, were performed between 2004 and 2021. An increase in the annual rate of THA performed for patients undergoing orthopedic surgery was observed. The rates of THA decreased annually for patients with RA when compared to the total number of orthopedic surgeries and primary THAs performed. Conclusion: The number of THAs performed for patients with RA may show an annual decrease resulting from early and aggressive drug therapy for management of RA in the era of BIO and JAKi. However, patients with RA undergoing THA have several unmet needs, including secondary osteoarthritis, dislocation, periprosthetic joint infection, and periprosthetic fracture with osteoporosis.
