Proximal Femur Stabilization Using Prolene Mesh in 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: The Girdlestone resection arthroplasty procedure is one of the options for treating an infected hip arthroplasty. It is a surgical procedure that involves resection of the head and neck of the femur, resulting in pseudarthrosis of the hip joint. This is often kept as a last resort for patients with significant co-morbidities or when other treatments have been ineffective. This procedure should be considered a salvage procedure, primarily aimed at pain relief and infection control. Case Report: We report a case of a 73-year-old male who sustained a fracture of the neck of the femur in 2019 and was operated on multiple times for the same. He presented us with an unstable hip. Conclusion: We used a novel technique of Girdlestone resection arthroplasty, which involved stabilization of the proximal femur with Prolene mesh.
