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
introductionTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients are at risk of postoperative complications and dislocation. Functional cup positioning was introduced to address the effect of pelvic malrotation. Our study aims to investigate the long-term survivorship of THA in Asian AS patients.
methodsThis is a retrospective study involving Asian AS patients with primary THA between 1970 and 2014. A total of 116 hips in 77 patients were included, with at least 10-year follow-up (mean 20.7 years). Primary outcomes were revision-free and dislocation-free survival of THA up to 30 years. Survival between different fixation methods were compared. Secondary outcomes include postoperative complications, re-revision, and radiographic changes.
resultsMean revision-free survival after primary THA was 23.0 years (95% confidence interval [CI], 21.1 to 24.9), most commonly due to aseptic loosening (54.3%). Overall, 10-year dislocation-free survival was excellent at 99.1% (95% CI, 97.4 to 100.0). Differences between cemented, noncemented, and hybrid THAs were not notable (log-rank test; P = 0.220). Cemented cups (hazard ratio [HR] 17.4; 95% CI, 2.5 to 122.2) and stems (HR 6.9; 95% CI, 1.6 to 30.7) had increased risk of revision due to loosening compared with noncemented THAs.
conclusionPrimary THA in AS patients demonstrated favorable survival at 10 years but poor long-term survival. Functional cup positioning demonstrated excellent results in terms of minimizing dislocation. Cemented implants had greater risk of aseptic loosening in long term, but differences were minimal considering all-cause revision.
