Long-term Survival of Hip Cement Spacer: A Case Report.
Article in Revista brasileira de ortopedia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present a unique case of a 56-year-old male patient who ambulated on a hip cement spacer for 11 years. After hemiarthroplasty after a motor vehicle accident, the patient developed periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) several years later, and underwent stage-1 revision. With the resolution of the infection after stage 1, the patient refused the second stage due to satisfaction with the cement spacer for nearly 11 years. To our knowledge, this is the longest reported case of a cement spacer remaining in an ambulating patient. This case demonstrates the mechanical reliability of metal-reinforced cement spacers, which can remain for long periods in selected patients.
