1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In response to an ageing global population, the primary hip and knee arthroplasty rate continues to increase. Although an effective treatment, up to 25% patients may require revision arthroplasty during their lifetime, commonly due to periprosthetic loosening. Revision procedures are associated with significantly increased healthcare costs; therefore, timely and accurate diagnostics are critical for clinicians and patients. Loosening, which may be septic or aseptic, remains a challenge and requires thorough clinical examination and multimodal imaging evaluation. Plain radiographs remain an essential diagnostic tool but advanced imaging modalities such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear medicine are playing an increasingly important role. This comprehensive review, through outlining the available radiological modalities, their respective strengths and weaknesses and the pertinent imaging findings, may help radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons make more informed decisions in the management of periprosthetic loosening.
