Total hip replacement versus bipolar femoral head replacement for femoral neck fractures in the elderly: effect on surgical indices, hip function, and postoperative complications.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo comparatively assess the effects of total hip replacement (THA) versus bipolar femoral head replacement (BFHR) on surgical indices, hip function, and postoperative complications (POCs) in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures (FNFs).
methodsA total of 135 elderly patients with FNF were enrolled and assigned to a BFHR group (n=65) receiving BFHR and a THA group (n=70) undergoing THA. Comparative analyses were conducted on surgical indices, postoperative recovery, Harris Hip scale, Barthel index, stress-related biomarkers, inflammatory markers, incidence of POCs, and quality of life (Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 [GQOLI-74]).
resultsCompared to the BFHR group, the THA group exhibited significantly higher values in several surgery- and recovery-associated indices. THA-treated patients achieved higher postoperative Harris Hip scores, Barthel Index scores, and GQOLI-74 scores. Additionally, stress- and inflammation-related indices, as well as the overall incidence of POC, were markedly reduced in the THA group.
conclusionBFHR is characterized by minimal invasiveness, shorter operative time, and rapid postoperative recovery in FNF treatment among the elderly. In contrast, THA demonstrates superior clinical advantages in improving hip joint function, activities of daily living, and quality of life, along with more effective inhibition of postoperative stress and inflammation, and a lower POC risk.
