Application and exploration of total hip arthroplasty for developmental dysplasia of the hip assisted by full-process robotics.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore whether total hip arthroplasty (THA) aided by full-process robotics was effective in patients undergoing developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
methodsTotally 112 patients were enrolled and classified into robotic-assisted group (n = 56) and the conventional group (n = 56). In addition, retrospective analysis was used for comparing the difference in therapeutic efficacy.
resultsA total of 112 patients received THA, and were followed up for (12.78 ± 0.76) months on average, with no occurrence of associated complications. For patients in robot-assisted group, their abduction and anteversion angles of acetabular cup placement were in the safe zone, while those in 8 patients of the conventional group were outside the safe zone. Compared to the conventional group, the robot-assisted group had higher postoperative Harris Hip Score and FJS, whereas lower VAS score.
conclusionRobot-assisted THA is advantageous in terms of both intraoperative precision and postoperative effect on the treatment of patients with DDH.
