Surgical treatments of metastatic bone disease of the hip joint: a scoping review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionMetastatic disease of the hip causes severe pain and is a serious threat to the patient's motor function. Surgery is required, but the actual efficacy is unclear, and there are many concerns for both patients and doctors. The purpose of this protocol is to conduct a scoping review for helping decisions of the intended audience. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This scoping review will be conducted according to the framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley and reported in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols Extension for Scoping Reviews criteria. To answer our research questions, we will search Chinese and English databases using appropriate search terms, comb through clinical studies on surgical procedures for metastatic bone disease of the hip and incorporate visual charts and graphs to provide a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the literature according to the criteria for basic characteristics, interventions and outcome indicators. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Since the data are publicly available, no ethical approval or participant consent is required. The results of the review will be published in an open-access peer-reviewed journal and presented at national and international conferences.
