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
BACKGROUND Osteoporotic femoral neck fractures cause substantial disability in older adults. Although joint replacement is the standard treatment, the choice between total hip arthroplasty (THA) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) remains controversial. This study compared outcomes of THA and HA and identified factors influencing postoperative hip functional recovery. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study included 98 patients, with 52 in the THA group and 46 in the HA group. Surgical parameters and outcomes were compared, including hip function assessed by the Harris Hip Score (HHS), pain evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS), and physical performance measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Postoperative complications were recorded. Good functional recovery was defined as HHS ≥80 at 1 year. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with functional recovery. RESULTS The THA group had significantly longer operative time, greater intraoperative blood loss, and higher postoperative drainage volume than the HA group (P<0.01). At 6 and 12 months, THA patients showed significantly better hip function, physical performance, and lower activity-related VAS scores (P<0.05). Overall complication rates were similar (P>0.05); however, acetabular wear-related pain occurred in 4 patients only in the HA group. Multivariate analysis showed that younger age, higher bone mineral density T-score, THA, and good rehabilitation compliance independently predicted favorable functional recovery (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS THA provides superior medium- to long-term functional outcomes compared with HA. Surgical decisions should consider age, bone quality, functional demands, and rehabilitation compliance, prioritizing THA when appropriate.
