Comparison of Conversion and Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty in a Retrospective Study of 140 Patients: Recommendations for Tailored Interventions.
Article in Hip & pelvis, 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
Purpose: Proximal femur fractures are commonly treated with cephalomedullary nails (CMN), dynamic hip screws (DHS), or closed reduction with percutaneous pinning (CRPP). Conversion total hip arthroplasty (cTHA) may be required for complications of these procedures. We compared cTHA outcomes with primary THA (pTHA). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 140 patients (70 cTHA, 70 pTHA) at Brown University Health Hospitals between September 2022 and February 2024. cTHA patients had prior failed DHS, CMN, or CRPP fixation. pTHA patients underwent surgery for degenerative joint disease rather than trauma. Demographics, perioperative data, and postoperative outcomes were compared, and logistic regression identified predictors of complications. Results: cTHA patients were older (71.6 vs. 66.3 years, Conclusion: cTHA is associated with higher perioperative morbidity and greater resource utilization than pTHA, despite similar short-term reoperation and readmission rates. These findings support risk stratification and tailored perioperative management for cTHA patients.
