Comparative Analysis and Accuracy of Surgeon- and Prosthesis Manufacturer-Generated Radiographic Templates in Total Hip Arthroplasty.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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
Background: Preoperative templating in total hip arthroplasty (THA) improves surgical accuracy and predictability. Recently, prosthesis manufacturers (PMs) have introduced industry-generated templating systems, but their accuracy compared to surgeon-generated templates has yet to be evaluated. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on THAs performed by 2 surgeons between October 2023 and September 2024. Surgeon-generated and PM-generated templates were compared to actual implanted components. Accuracy of acetabular and femoral component sizing, as well as femoral offset prediction, was assessed using χ Results: A total of 306 surgeon templates and 240 PM templates were analyzed. Surgeons correctly predicted acetabular and femoral component sizes in 45.1% and 28.4% of cases, respectively, while PM templates achieved 33.8% and 35.0%. No significant difference was found between groups in component size accuracy (acetabular: Conclusions: PM templating demonstrated a reasonable ability to predict implant sizes in THA, with comparable performance to high-volume, fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeons. While surgeon-generated templates outperformed PM templates in offset prediction, these findings suggest that industry-generated templates could be a valuable tool for surgical planning and inventory management in hospitals.
