Early migration patterns of calcium phosphate versus hydroxyapatite-coated stem in uncemented total hip arthroplasty: a prospective randomized clinical trial using radiostereometric analysis.

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 and purposeThe design and coating of uncemented joint implants impact bone ingrowth and thereby the stability of the implant. This prospective randomized clinical trial aimed to compare early migration of two uncemented, similarly shaped femoral stems with either calcium phosphate or hydroxyapatite coating. PATIENTS AND
methods93 patients (102 hips) were randomized to either an intervention calcium phosphate or a conventional hydroxyapatite-coated stem. Migration measurements were performed postoperatively, and at 6 weeks, 3, 12 months, and 2 and 5 years after operation, and analyzed with radiostereometric analysis.
resultsThere were no significant differences in migration between the two stems from postoperative to 5-year follow-up. With 6 weeks follow-up as baseline, the calcium phosphate coated stem showed a tendency towards migrating less with a maximum total point motion up to 2 years of 0.84 mm (0.68 to 1.00 95% CI) compared to the hydroxyapatite-coated stem which migrated 1.25 mm (0.99 to 1.52 95% CI) (P = 0.010).
conclusionsOur data show that the calcium phosphate-coated stem is a safe implant in terms of ingrowth stability, and with migration patterns comparable to a hydroxyapatite-coated stem.
