Surgical procedure and retrospective comparative series of Microport's AnteriorPath
Article in Turkish journal of surgery, 2025. 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
Objective: In recent years, the paradigm of surgical approaches for total hip arthroplasty (THA) has evolved, with portal-assisted techniques emerging as a promising avenue for increasing precision and minimizing invasiveness. The purpose of this study was to compare early experience with the Microport anterior percutaneously (MAP) assisted THA system, with the established AMIS direct anterior approach (DAA). Material and Methods: A retrospective chart analysis was performed on 200 consecutive patients who underwent DAA or MAP at our institution in 2022. The research was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (as revised in 2013), and was approved by the institutional review board of the University Duisburg-Essen (23-11274-BO). Results: Two hundred patients were enrolled (100 DAA and 100 MAP; time to follow-up 1.7 years ±88 days). The mean operative time was 81 minutes (MAP) and 67 minutes (DAA, p>0.05). The mean cup tilt angle was 39° (MAP) and 40° (DAA; p>0.05). The mean cup anteversion angle was 13° (MAP) and 16° (DAA; p>0.05). The mean postoperative hemoglobin (Hb) decrease was 2.6 mg/dL ±0.9 mg/dL (MAP) and 2.5 mg/dL ±0.9 mg/dL (DAA; p>0.05). No major complications were documented in any of the 200 cases during the observation period. Additional screw fixation was performed in 7 cases and hybrid stem cementation was performed in 3 cases due to lack of rotational stability. All 10 cases were in patients with DAA. In only one of the 200 cases, two units of RBC were transfused postoperatively in a DAA case after a postoperative decrease of 5.7 mg/dL Hb. Conclusion: Anterior Path
