Article in Hip & pelvis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: The textured titanium surfaces used in many total hip arthroplasty (THA) implants are designed to promote osseointegration. However, these surface types may also facilitate bacterial adherence and risk of infection. This aim of this study is to characterize the bacterial growth and viability on the different titanium surfaces used in THA implants. Materials and Methods: Smooth and rough titanium samples were cleaned, sterilized, and prepared for bacterial testing. Results: Microtopographic differences between surfaces showed extensive irregularities in the rough samples as compared to the uniform grooved surface of the smooth samples. Confocal imaging showed greater bacterial coverage on the rough surfaces compared to smooth ones at all timepoint including 6 hours (7.85% vs. 3.89%, Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that rough titanium surfaces allow for greater
