Multiple revision surgeries after total hip arthroplasty in a patient with osteopetrosis: a case report with 24 years of follow-up.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 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
Osteopetrosis, also recognized as marble bone disease, denotes a rare hereditary skeletal condition. It is distinguished by faulty osteoclast resorption, resulting in universally rigid and brittle bones. Secondary osteoarthritis often occurs in young and middle-aged patients with osteopetrosis. They often have to have joint replacement surgery at a young age, which means they will likely face multiple revision surgeries. To draw attention to revision surgery, we present the case of an osteopetrosis patient who underwent multiple revision surgeries after total hip arthroplasty. Additionally, we suggest that this may be the first reported case of revision surgery utilizing a custom triflange acetabular component (CTAC) in a patient with osteopetrosis. These findings will offer valuable insights for selecting appropriate techniques and instruments for multiple revision surgeries of total hip arthroplasty in patients with osteopetrosis. Presently, total hip arthroplasty remains a valuable treatment option in osteopetrosis patients when executed with precision.
