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
purposeCombined anteversion (CA), integrating acetabular (AA) and femoral anteversion (FA), is crucial for total hip arthroplasty (THA) stability. We evaluated CA distribution in natural Asian hips, AA and FA contributions to CA variance, and sex and age effects.
methodsWe retrospectively analysed 200 normal contralateral hips from patients with femoral neck fractures. Using CT-based 3D models, we calculated AA and FA. CA was determined using the Widmer equation (CA = AA + 0.7 × FA). We evaluated sex and age differences and used standardised regression coefficients to identify CA variance determinants.
resultsMean values were AA 16.3° ± 5.4°, FA 18.8° ± 11.2°, and CA 29.4° ± 9.6°. Standardised regression coefficients for CA variance were β = 0.822 for FA and β = 0.580 for AA. Women had significantly higher AA, FA, and CA than men (mean CA: 30.7° vs 24.4°). Sex-specific coefficients confirmed FA as the dominant determinant (men: FA β = 0.889, AA β = 0.595; women: FA β = 0.817, AA β = 0.587). With age, AA increased (0.12°/year, P = 0.006) and FA decreased (-0.30°/year, P = 0.001), but CA remained unchanged (P = 0.256).
conclusionMean CA in natural Asian hips (29.4°) is lower than conventional THA targets. CA variance is predominantly determined by FA. While AA and FA change with age, CA remains stable. Optimising CA in THA requires individualised strategies emphasising sex differences.
