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

backgroundClinical studies using Trabecular Titanium™ acetabular cups have shown promising short and medium-term results. This material, due to its macro and micro surface roughness, provides a substrate for osseointegration and enhances implant stability. However, there is a lack of evidence in the literature on the use of this material in patients with femoral neck fracture.

aimTo evaluate the short-term clinical-functional and radiographic outcomes in patients with femoral neck fractures undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) with Trabecular Titanium™ acetabular cup implants.

methodsThe study included 104 patients with medial femoral neck fractures who underwent THA between January 2020 and December 2020 with the Delta TT acetabular cup (Lima Corporate, Villanova di San Daniele del Friuli, Italy). The mean age of the patients was 69.57 ± 10.16 years (range: 36-85 years). The follow-up period ranged from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 4 years. Three questionnaires (Harris Hip Score, Oxford Hip Score, and EQ5D) were administered along with radiographic evaluations. Statistical methods included the Student's

resultsThe mean follow-up was 41.5 months. The Harris Hip Score (HHS) showed a mean increase of 2.74 points (mean HHS 88.52 at 6 months postoperatively and mean HHS 91.26 at the last follow-up) with statistical significance. Similarly, the Oxford Hip Score demonstrated a statistically significant difference between follow-up groups. However, the EQ5D did not show statistically significant differences among the three groups (preoperative, 6-month follow-up, and last follow-up). Revision surgery was required in 6 patients. According to Moore's criteria, 96% of the acetabular components were radiographically stable and well-integrated at the last follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier curve showed a 96% survival rate.

conclusionThe clinical and radiographic results obtained in the short to medium term confirm the excellent performance of the Delta TT acetabular cup in terms of osseointegration, providing an optimal solution both for young patients with high functional recovery demands and for fragile patients requiring optimal stability of the acetabular component to reduce the risk of implant failure.
