[Leg length discrepancy following total hip arthroplasty : How often and when is it problematic?]
Review in Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
backgroundLeg length discrepancy (LLD) is a frequent source of dissatisfaction and litigation following total hip arthroplasty (THA). To minimize the risk of postoperative LLD, meticulous planning before surgery and intraoperative clinical and radiographic assessment are critical. THERAPY: The discrimination between structural and functional causes is a key aspect in the management of LLD and guides therapeutic decision-making. Functional LLDs are common in the early postoperative phase and typically respond well to conservative treatment. In patients with neurologic deficits or recurrent dislocations revision surgery is warranted. There is no universally accepted threshold for revision in patients with persistent LLD unresponsive to non-operative measures, and surgical re-intervention should be based on individual decision-making in these cases. This review summarizes current evidence on the etiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of leg length discrepancy following THA.
