Cementless calcar-guided short stems: 24-month clinical outcomes and migration analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Calcar-guided short stems aim to preserve proximal bone stock and reconstruct individual anatomy, but reduced diaphyseal anchorage raises concerns regarding initial stability. This prospective cohort study evaluated migration of the A2 calcar-guided short stem using high-precision radiostereometric analysis (RSA). Sixty patients (mean age 57.8 years) undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty were enrolled. Marker-based RSA was performed at baseline and at predefined intervals up to 24 months. The primary endpoint was axial subsidence (Ty) at 2 years. Secondary outcomes included three-dimensional migration and clinical scores, including the Harris Hip Score (HHS). Longitudinal migration was analysed using linear mixed models. At 24 months, mean axial subsidence (Ty) was - 0.29 mm (95% CI - 0.53 to - 0.06). Mean total translation (Txyz) was 0.74 mm (95% CI 0.50 to 0.98), and mean retroversion (Ry) was 2.31° (95% CI 1.84° to 2.79°). Migration occurred predominantly in the early postoperative phase, followed by stabilisation. Two stems (3.3%) required revision during follow-up, one due to undersizing with insufficient cortical contact and one after a traumatic fall. The remaining implants demonstrated stable fixation. Mean HHS exceeded 95 at 24 months. The A2 calcar-guided short stem showed early settling followed by stable fixation, with excellent clinical outcomes at 2 years.
