Arthroplasty registries at a glance: an initiative of the International Society of Arthroplasty Registries (ISAR) to facilitate access, understanding, and reporting of registry data from an international perspective.
Article in Acta orthopaedica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
background and purposeThe amount of information publicly available from arthroplasty registries is large but could be used more effectively. This project aims to improve the knowledge concerning existing registries to facilitate access, transparency, harmonization, and reporting.
methodsWithin the International Society of Arthroplasty Registries (ISAR) we aimed at developing, testing, adopting, and making publicly available a short, standardized registry description with items considered relevant for stakeholders using a cross-sectional study survey. Items were chosen based on a literature review and expert advice, selected by 9 ISAR working group members, tested iteratively in 3 registries, and commented upon by 4 external experts. All 29 ISAR member registries as of July 2023 were invited to participate in the project.
resultsIncluded items covered general descriptive information regarding registries, information related to governance, outcomes, data quality, data access, and registry production. The template was adopted, completed, and made publicly available by 25 of the 29 registries. Of those, 2/3 were national registries. 23 captured both hip and knee arthroplasties and 10 captured shoulder arthroplasties. Most registries had public reporting of data quality, methods, and results. Data was accessible in all but 2 registries, mainly as aggregated data. Important items relevant to registry quality for researchers to consistently indicate in scientific papers include scope, inclusion criteria, outcomes definitions, coverage/completeness, and validation processes.
conclusionThis ISAR initiative implemented a short, standardized description to facilitate appropriate use of orthopedic registry data worldwide relevant for a diverse group of stakeholders including researchers, industry, public health and regulatory agencies.
