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: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has changed significantly since its inception, with various bearing surfaces affecting clinical outcomes. This systematic review aimed to assess the functional results of various bearing surfaces in total hip arthroplasty using validated scoring systems. Methods: This systematic review was carried out in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, and the protocol was registered in PROSPERO under CRD42025634591. Studies were included based on predefined criteria for population, intervention type, and reported clinical outcomes. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Harris Hip Score (HHS), and SF-12 were analyzed closely. Results: 18 clinical trials with a mean follow-up of 100.69 months were included. MoM implants showed superior HHS, WOMAC, and SF-12 scores compared to CoC, CoP, and MoP ( Conclusion: MoM implants demonstrated better quality of life and functional outcomes, but their use has declined due to safety concerns. Other implants may reduce complications related to metal ion release. These findings help surgeons choose THA implants by weighing benefits against long-term risks. Further research is necessary to refine implant selection criteria and long-term performance.
