Comparison of Uncemented and Hybrid Hip Arthroplasty: Protocol for a Brazilian Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 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
Background: Total hip arthroplasty is a highly successful procedure for treating hip arthritis, improving patients' pain, function, and quality of life (QoL). Scarce publications on total hip arthroplasty performance using Brazilian-manufactured materials report results comparable to those from other countries. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the clinical, radiographic, functional, pain, and QoL outcomes of patients who underwent surgery with a national hybrid prosthesis (with femoral cementation) versus patients who underwent surgery with a national uncemented prosthesis. Methods: This study is a single-center, single-surgeon, single-approach, pragmatic, double-blinded, and prospective randomized trial. A total of 120 patients will be enrolled and randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to 2 groups: the hybrid group and the uncemented group. The incidence of complications (during and after surgery) and the restoration of normal anatomical parameters on postoperative radiographs will be assessed using radiographic parameters. Participants' QoL, joint mobility, function, and satisfaction will be evaluated using the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey version 2 questionnaire, hip range of motion, the Harris Hip Score, and a numeric rating scale. Prosthesis survival will be analyzed using the annual revision surgery rate from 1 to 5 years, and up to 10 years. Results: The project did not receive external funding. Data collection began in October 2024 and is ongoing, with completion expected in December 2029. As of April 2025, 72 participants have been enrolled. Preliminary data analysis has been initiated and is ongoing. The first results are expected to be published in the first half of 2026. Conclusions: This study is a pragmatic clinical trial that uses blinding to evaluate national implants for both hybrid and uncemented hip arthroplasty. Successful completion of this study may provide clinical evidence on the performance of national implants and identify a preferred implant construct (hybrid or uncemented), if any, for hip replacement in Brazil.
