Taper wear in total joint arthroplasty can be reliably assessed with various coordinate measuring systems.

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
In total joint arthroplasty, wear and corrosion at modular taper junctions is an issue with clinical implications, as ions and wear debris can lead to adverse tissue reactions. The quantification of the generated wear is, therefore, an important measure to judge the performance of such modular junctions. This applies to pre-clinical in vitro investigations as well as to retrospective investigations of retrieved implants. The volume of the worn material can be determined with coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), which can generally be classified as tactile and optical systems. The study aims on the comparison of a tactile with two optical CMM systems for the determination of taper wear. To do so, four taper samples-three trunnions and one bore taper-with different amounts of known volumetric wear (range 1.5 mm
