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 and purposeAn uncemented ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) monoblock cup is an acetabular component designed for younger and more active patients. We compared migration, revision rates, and clinical results of this uncemented CoC monoblock acetabular component with a commonly used uncemented ceramic-on-polyethylene (CoPE) modular cup.
methodsIn this prospective randomized controlled trial we used radiostereometric analysis (RSA) to study primary THAs that were performed after being allocated 1:1 to uncemented CoC monoblock acetabular component or to uncemented ceramic-on-polyethylene (CoPE) modular cup. Radiographs were obtained directly postoperatively, and at 1.5, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 60 months postoperatively. Migration of both cups was calculated using model-based RSA (mbRSA) in terms of translations and rotations. Revision rates and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) (Harris Hip Score, Oxford Hip Score, EQ-5D-5L) were also registered.
resultsWe included 50 patients. The monoblock cup shows a statistically significant higher total translation compared with the modular cup (mean difference -0.71 mm, 95% confidence interval 0.10-1.31) at 5 years' follow-up. Both cups show an increased translation along the x- and y-axes over time, which stabilized after 3 months. No statistically significant differences were found in the rotation patterns of the cups. However, both cups show an increased rotation about the z-axis over time, which decreased between 2 and 5 years' follow-up. All PROMs improved after surgery and remained stable.
conclusionAlthough the CoC monoblock cup showed a higher translation than the CoPE modular cup, the revision rates and clinical outcomes in both groups were similar. The CoC monoblock cup showed acceptable mid-term outcomes comparable with the CoPE modular cup.
