1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Despite contradictory results of various published data on the subject, the complications of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in femoral neck fracture (FNF) compared to those in osteoarthritis (OA) are yet to be further elucidated. We queried PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar from inception until October 2024 for studies that compared the surgical outcomes of THA in the management of FNF and OA. We evaluated the overall complications, such as dislocations, prosthetic joint infection (PJI), intraoperative fractures, periprosthetic fractures (PPFx), mechanical loosening, venous thromboembolism (VTE), hematoma, leg length discrepancy (LLD), and revisions. In addition, surgical parameters such as the duration of surgery and the length of stay (LOS) were also assessed. Eleven studies were included in our meta-analysis. The use of THA in FNF is associated with high risks of overall complications (odds ratio [OR] 1.58, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-2.49,
