Total Hip Arthroplasty, via Direct Anterior Approach, With Contralateral Proximal Femur Amputation.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Lower limb amputation has been well characterized in the literature to cause resultant osteoarthritis in the hip of the contralateral limb. This further amplifies the already significant physical disability and morbidity that come with lower limb amputation. The use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with lower limb amputations is rare, with available literature subsequently also limited. In this case report, we describe a 52-year-old female with a right proximal femur (subtrochanteric) amputation who underwent left THA due to osteoarthritis. To our knowledge, this is the first published report describing THA, via direct anterior approach, in a patient with contralateral proximal femur (subtrochanteric) amputation. We discuss the complex surgical considerations for this patient population, selection of approach, prosthesis, and postoperative outcomes.
