Periacetabular metastases: Proposed extension of the Harrington classification.

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
Objectives: To describe the functional outcomes, complications, and reconstruction types in patients with periacetabular metastases and to propose an extension of the Harrington classification. Methods: Twenty-eight patients (13 males, 15 females) with a mean age of 63.8 ± 15.5 years presented with periacetabular metastases from January 2010 to December 2021. The periacetabular metastases were graded according to Harrington's classification, with four additional categories introduced: A) joint involvement, B) Enneking zone 1 involvement, C) pathological acetabular fracture, and X) none of the above. All patients underwent surgery at a single national referral center. Results: Based on the Harrington classification, the acetabular destruction results were as follows: Class 1, two cases (7 %); Class 2, eight cases (29 %); Class 3, 17 cases (61 %); and Class 4, one case (3 %). The results for the additional categories were: A, five cases (18 %); B, five cases (18 %); C, seven cases (25 %); and X, 11 cases (39 %). The most frequent type of reconstruction was total hip prosthesis with a reinforcement ring. Four patients (14 %) required reintervention. After a mean follow-up of 43 ± 45 months (range 2-144), seven patients (25 %) could walk unaided, 16 (57 %) required assistance, and five (18 %) could not walk. Three patients (11 %) died before the third postoperative month. Conclusion: Most patients in this study achieved functional outcomes that allowed ambulation. The type of reconstruction was determined by the classification of the bone defect. We propose extending Harrington's classification to include the four additional categories introduced in this study.
