No difference in the level of sports activity between single versus dual mobility total hip arthroplasty in adults: a clinical trial.
Trial report in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Current evidence on the quality of sports activity in patients younger than 65 following dual mobility (DM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) is lacking, and whether this coupling allows better performance than single mobility (SM) still needs to be fully clarified. This clinical trial compared sport-related patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of the traditional SM versus DM implants in active patients younger than 65. All THAs were performed using a minimally invasive posterolateral approach, polyethylene liner and ceramic head. All implants were cementless. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scores, the High-Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS), the visual analogue scale for pain (VAS), and the Harris Hip Score (HHS) were administered to each patient. Patient assessment was conducted on admission, at 12, and at a minimum of 24 months postoperatively. A total of 403 patients were included in the study: 372 SM and 31 DM. The mean age was 56.3 ± 7.2 years. The mean length of the follow-up was 51.3 ± 21.0 months. The present clinical trial found no difference in UCLA, HHS, HAAS, and VAS. Patients returned at a similar level of sports activity in both groups.Level of evidence Level II, prospective group-controlled clinical trial.
