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

The current case series reports on 4 cases of intraoperative fracture of the femoral broach locking mechanism during total hip arthroplasty and subsequent entrapment of the broach. Three of the cases were performed via the direct anterior approach and 1 was performed with the posterolateral approach. Two femoral broach locking mechanisms fractured with the use of a power broaching device and 2 occurred when using the calcar planar. The authors also discuss a minimally invasive technique to remove the broach. While intraoperative fracture of the femoral broach locking mechanism is not a common complication, surgeons should be aware of the potential causes of these complications as well as strategies and techniques to retrieve the broach should they encounter this issue.
