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: Achieving precise acetabular cup positioning is vital for the success of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Factors such as cup inclination and anteversion angles play a pivotal role in determining postoperative stability, limb length equality, and overall functional outcomes. Modern navigation systems and robotics have enhanced surgical precision but remain underutilized due to their high costs and complex training requirements. Methods: We have designed an economical and compact image-free navigation device for acetabular cup placement. By employing computer vision techniques using OpenCV, the device was tested on artificial hip models to ensure precision. A total of 50 angle measurements were analyzed for accuracy. Results: The tool demonstrated exceptional precision, with mean inclination angle errors of 0.15° (SD: 0.44°) and mean anteversion angle errors of -1.06° (SD: 0.34°), both statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our navigation device, which is portable and cost-effective, offers reliable guidance for acetabular cup positioning. Its affordability and ease of use make it an excellent alternative for resource-constrained settings.
