Cemented total hip arthroplasty reduces early complications: a Japanese nationwide propensity-matched study.

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
introductionThe optimal fixation method in total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains under debate. While cemented fixation has been associated with a lower risk of periprosthetic fracture, uncemented fixation predominates in Japan. This study aimed to compare early postoperative complications between cemented and uncemented fixation in elective THA using a nationwide inpatient database. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe identified 198,102 patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent primary THA for osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, or rheumatoid arthritis between December 2011 and March 2023 from the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) database. After 1:1 propensity score matching for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and Charlson Comorbidity Index, 36,859 patients were included in each fixation cohort. Surgical and medical complications, and in-hospital mortality were compared using multivariate logistic regression.
resultsCemented fixation was associated with a significantly lower risk of periprosthetic fracture (odds ratio [OR], 0.40; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.30-0.53; p < 0.001), blood transfusion (OR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.74-0.78; p < 0.001), and deep vein thrombosis (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.74-0.84; p < 0.001). There were no statistically significant differences based on the predefined threshold (p < 0.001) in dislocation, infection, pulmonary embolism, cardiac or cerebrovascular events, or in-hospital mortality between fixation types, although a trend toward higher in-hospital mortality in the cemented group was observed.
conclusionsCemented THA was associated with reduced rates of periprosthetic fracture, transfusion, and deep vein thrombosis without increasing other perioperative or medical complications. These findings suggest that cemented fixation may be associated with favorable short-term outcomes in selected patients.
