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
backgroundDislocation remains a common reason for revision after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and adverse spinopelvic mobility is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to instability. Whether its prevalence differs between surgical approaches is unclear. This study compared adverse spinopelvic mobility and associated risk factors in patients who sustained a dislocation after a posterior approach (PA) or a direct anterior approach (DAA), and evaluated whether implant positioning differed between groups.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 133 patients with post-operative dislocation and available functional lateral radiographs and low-dose CT scans, including 85 PA and 48 DAA dislocations. Spinopelvic parameters, dynamic pelvic motion between standing, sitting, and supine postures, and established spinopelvic risk factors were assessed. Cup orientation, femoral version, combined anteversion, limb length, and global offset were compared.
resultsSpinopelvic morphology was similar, with no significant differences in standing spinopelvic tilt, pelvic incidence, PI-LL mismatch, lumbar lordosis, or lumbar flexion. However, dynamic motion differed markedly. A change in spinopelvic tilt (SPT) of ≥ 20° from standing to seated occurred in 41.3% of DAA dislocations versus 21.1% after PA (p = 0.029). A change in SPT ≤ - 13° from supine to standing occurred in 17.8% after DAA compared with 4.7% after PA (p = 0.048). Other spinopelvic risk factors showed no significant differences. Implant positioning was largely comparable; femoral and combined anteversion, cup inclination, and limb length were similar. Although femoral head size and global offset differed between groups, the association between surgical approach and adverse spinopelvic mobility persisted after accounting for these implant-related factors.
conclusionPatients dislocating after DAA demonstrated a substantially higher prevalence of adverse spinopelvic mobility despite similar implant orientation and hip restoration. These findings suggest that dynamic pelvic behavior may contribute to anterior instability patterns and highlight the potential relevance of hip-spine assessment in patients undergoing anterior-approach THA.
