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

objectiveTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the orthopaedic surgeries performed today that yields satisfactory results. The surgeon volume has an important effect on the success of THA and we predict that surgeon-related variables can be brought to the most optimal level with experience.

methodsPatients who underwent primary THA surgery between 2015 and 2024 and had at least 1 year of follow-up were included in the study. High volume (HV) in surgeons who performed at least 20 primary THA operations in at least 3 consecutive years. Surgeons with 5 years or more of experience in orthopedics and traumatology were defined as low volume (LV). Acetabular inclination angle, limb length discrepancy, femoral stem malalignment, and hip rotation center conformity according to the Ranawat triangle method were determined from postoperative radiographs.

resultsIn the study investigating the relationship between primary THA and surgeon volume, a significant relationship was found between surgical time, hospital stay, dislocation, blood loss, leg length discrepancy and hip rotation center according to Ranawat triangle as surgeon experience increased. No significant relationship was found between the groups in terms of revision surgery, acetabular inclination angle, femoral stem malalignment and periprosthetic infection.

conclusionAs in every field, there is a linear relationship between increasing experience in a surgery or disease group and successful results in orthopedics and traumatology. Complication rates may decrease with the increase in HV surgeons in every field. For this reason; increasing the experience of surgeons in a certain field in orthopedics and traumatology will help them follow new developments in this field.
