1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: This study compares outcomes between conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) after proximal femur fracture (PFF) fixation and primary THA for osteoarthritis and examines whether fracture type affects results. Methods: This is a retrospective review of prospectively collected data from a single academic center. Eighty-seven consecutive patients underwent conversion THA following surgical fixation of a PFF with a minimum 2-year follow-up. These patients were matched 1:1 with patients who underwent a primary THA for osteoarthritis, by the same arthroplasty surgeons, using propensity score technique. Outcomes measures included length of stay, complications, reoperation rates, and Oxford Hip Score (OHS). Subgroup analysis involved comparing outcome measures between patients who required conversion THA following an intracapsular and extracapsular PFF. Results: The mean follow-up was 5.6 years (range, 2.3-13.1). Patients in the conversion THA group required longer length of stay (8.1 vs 1.4 days, Conclusions: Conversion THA after extracapsular PPF is associated with higher reoperation rates and poorer functional outcomes than primary THA for osteoarthritis. In contract, intracapsular PPF show comparable results, underscoring the need to consider fracture type in treatment planning.
