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

Primary and revision total hip arthroplasty can be complicated by intrapelvic migration of the acetabular components. This complication constitutes an evolutionary turning point in the history of this prosthesis since it could lead to compression or invasion of noble intra-pelvic structures. The second problem lies in the extraction of these implants in this anatomically dangerous region. We report the case of a patient who was operated on for a septic loosening of her total hip arthroplasty with protrusion of the acetabular components (Kerboull cross-plate and the cup) intrapelvicly via the para-rectus approach which allowed safe removal of these implants. This is an intra-pelvis approach lateral to the rectus abdominis muscle, initially described in acetabular fractures, with few studies reporting its use in this type of complex situations.
