Abdominal Pannus Should Not Dictate Surgical Approach in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty.

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
Background: Increased pannus size is a risk factor for complications with anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, it is unclear if changing to a posterior approach mitigates this risk. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether abdominal pannus size had a differential effect on complication rate comparing anterior vs posterior THA. Methods: One thousand consecutive primary THA patients-478 anterior and 522 posterior-were retrospectively reviewed for complications and their abdominal pannus was radiographically measured on an anteroposterior pelvis image and placed into 1 of 4 categories based on its vertical size (no pannus [G0], above symphysis [G1], below symphysis [G2], or below ischial tuberosities [G3]). Chi-squared tests for univariate and logistic regression models controlled for age, race, gender, body mass index, Charlson comorbidity index, and smoking. Results: Comparing wound complications at increasing pannus size, anterior vs posterior (G0 1.9% vs 3.9%, Conclusions: In patients with an abdominal pannus, there is no difference in the risk of delayed wound healing or reoperation within 90 postoperative days comparing anterior to posterior approach.
