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: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the presence of chronic pubic diastasis is uncommon and technically demanding due to hemipelvic malrotation and abnormal acetabular orientation. Case Presentation: A 41-year-old woman developed advanced post-traumatic hip osteoarthritis following fixation of an acetabular fracture and sacroiliac joint injury, complicated by a 90-mm chronic pubic diastasis. Preoperative imaging showed a vertically oriented, retroverted acetabulum with external hemipelvic rotation. THA was performed using a modified posterolateral approach with normalized imaging and landmark-based acetabular orientation. A press-fit uncemented acetabular component with a dual-mobility liner and a short uncemented femoral stem were implanted. The postoperative course was uneventful. The Harris Hip Score improved from 74 at 2 weeks to 93 at 12 weeks, and radiographs up to 2 years confirmed stable osseointegration. Conclusion: This case highlights technical strategies for performing THA in post-traumatic pubic diastasis with prior fixation, emphasizing functional pelvic normalization and reproducible landmark-based acetabular orientation. This report was prepared in accordance with CARE guidelines.
