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
introductionImageless navigation is widely used in total hip arthroplasty (THA), yet evidence for procedures in the lateral decubitus position remains limited because pelvic orientation and registration differ from the supine position. This study evaluated the accuracy of imageless navigation for acetabular component positioning in lateral-position primary THA, using postoperative EOS-based 3D assessment as a postoperative reference method for agreement analysis.
methodsThe study comprised in-vitro pretests and an in-vivo cohort. In vitro, a pelvic model was systematically rotated along all axes to assess effects on navigated cup inclination and anteversion. In vivo, 70 patients undergoing primary THA in lateral decubitus were included. Intraoperative imageless navigation values were compared with postoperative EOS-3D-measurements.
resultsIn vitro, z-axis (tilt) variations substantially altered both parameters. In vivo, inclination showed a small but statistically significant inter-method difference (mean 1.4°, p = 0.036, Cohen's d = 0.26), whereas anteversion demonstrated a larger systematic underestimation by imageless navigation (mean -7.5°, p < 0.001, Cohen's d = -0.78) with poor inter-method agreement (ICC = 0.168).
conclusionImageless navigation demonstrated acceptable inclination agreement with postoperative EOS assessment, whereas anteversion showed a larger systematic deviation and poor inter-method agreement; sagittal pelvic tilt and positional frame-of-reference differences appear to be major contributing factors.
