BMI and its association with patient-reported outcome measures following revision hip surgery.
Article in Bone & joint open, 2026. 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
Aims: Obesity is associated with increased surgical complexity and poorer postoperative outcomes after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), yet its impact on revision THA remains unclear. This study evaluates the relationship between BMI and outcomes following revision THA. Methods: We analyzed prospectively collected data from patients who consented to participation in the Perioperative Quality Improvement Programme (PQIP) research study. All patients undergoing revision THA from May 2018 to December 2022 were included. Patients were stratified into BMI categories, and outcomes were assessed using the EuroQol five-dimension five-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) at baseline, six, and 12 months postoperatively. Statistical comparisons were performed to evaluate differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between BMI groups. Results: Higher BMI was associated with lower preoperative EQ-5D scores. However, all BMI groups demonstrated significant postoperative improvement, with the greatest gains observed in patients with a BMI > 40 kg/m Conclusion: Despite potentially increased intraoperative risks, high BMI patients experience meaningful functional improvement following revision THA. These findings challenge the rationale for BMI-based surgical restrictions, suggesting that high BMI alone should not be a contraindication for revision THA.
