Superior Gluteal Artery Perforation Following Girdlestone Resection Arthroplasty: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Girdlestone excision arthroplasty is a surgical procedure for managing severe hip joint pathology, involving the removal of the femoral head and neck. Despite its utility, the Girdlestone procedure carries significant risks, including vascular complications. This report highlights a previously unreported complication: Post-operative hemorrhage from the superior gluteal artery (SGA). Case Report: A 65-year-old female underwent this procedure after recurrent infections and instability following hip hemiarthroplasty. The patient who underwent a Girdlestone procedure experienced life-threatening hemorrhage likely due to excessive external rotation and femoral shortening during post-operative transfer. A computed tomography scan revealed active SGA extravasation, necessitating emergent embolization by interventional radiology. Conclusion: There are currently no reported cases of this event occurring in the literature. This case underscores the need for vigilance in post-operative monitoring for vascular complications, particularly in high-risk patients. This report emphasizes the importance of recognizing and promptly addressing vascular injuries, as well as prioritizing care-team communications, to improve patient outcomes.
