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

Introduction: Cementless ultra-short stems (USS), defined as implants that do not engage the diaphyseal cortex (stemless), have been designed to leave diaphyseal bone undisturbed. This study reports midterm clinical results using an USS in relatively younger patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: The study included 32 THA in 26 patients (8 females, 18 males) with end-stage coxarthrosis of various etiologies, with patients Results: The mean age at surgery was 47.9 years (28-67 years). The mean follow-up was 12.1 years (range 10.8-13.8 years). Seven patients were classified as Dorr A femoral bone type, 18 were Dorr B, and 7 were Dorr C. Mean Harris Hip Score (HHS) improvement was 39.3 points from preoperative ( Conclusion: The ultra-short Proxima cementless stem showed a survival of 93.7% at a mean 12.1 years, proving the USS concept to be durable and effective. The USS is best suited for primary THA in Dorr A and B bones where diaphyseal bone preservation for future surgery is a priority.
