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
introductionWe developed a fluoroscopic templating technique for accurate cup placement based on the acetabular morphology of individual patients during supine position total hip arthroplasty (THA) to reduce the risk of dislocation. This study aimed to evaluate cup positioning accuracy with and without this technique. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe evaluated 75 consecutive hips of 70 patients undergoing cementless anterolateral supine THA. The target angle for radiographic inclination (RI) and radiographic anteversion (RA) were set using a computed tomography (CT)-based functional pelvic plane. In 25 hips, we implanted the cup using a mechanical alignment guide (C-group). A fluoroscopic templating technique was used in 50 hips (FT-group), and a reference line based on the acetabular morphology was preoperatively set in each patient for the RI guide. A reference diagram was made for the RA guide. Postoperative CT scans were used to compare cup positioning accuracy between groups.
resultsThe absolute values of the error from the target angle were 3.2 ± 2.0° (RI) and 6.5 ± 3.8° (RA) in the C-group, and 1.5 ± 1.2° (RI) and 2.6 ± 1.9° (RA) in the FT-group. The errors of both RI and RA were significantly smaller in the FT-group than in the C-group. The rates of cases within ± 5° of the target angles for both RI and RA were 48% (C-group) and 92% (FT-group). The mean fluoroscopic times were 32.2 s (C-group) and 17.4 s (FT-group).
conclusionOur simple patient-specific technique achieved accurate cup positioning; this may reduce the risk of dislocation.
