Total Hip Replacement Following Unsuccessful Acetabular Repair: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Traumatic avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a major issue after acetabular fractures, affecting 20-40% of cases even with precise joint realignment. Performing total hip replacement (THR) as a salvage procedure introduces specific surgical obstacles absent in standard primary THR. Case Report: This report covers a 26-year-old man injured in a motor vehicle collision with an acetabular fracture. After open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), he had femoral head AVN with superior migration and absorption of superolateral acetabular rim at 18 months, requiring THR. Using a posterior surgical approach to hip, THR was performed by extracting unstable screws and placing cementless acetabular and femoral components. He had an unremarkable recovery, with notable improvements in pain and mobility. Conclusion: Salvage THR after acetabular ORIF requires expertise, but thorough pre-operative strategy, targeted implants, and effective hardware removal deliver reliable success. Young adults with both-column injuries need ongoing AVN monitoring, regardless of initial perfect alignment.
