Length of Hospital Stay between Direct Anterior Approach and Posterior Approach in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty.
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: The surgical approach used in performance of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is critical in determining the postoperative recovery process. The direct anterior approach (DAA) is a minimally invasive technique that preserves soft tissue, while the posterior approach (PA) is a traditional method providing a more extensive view of the hip joint. Length of stay (LOS) is an essential metric in assessing healthcare efficiency and patient recovery. The aim of this article is to compare LOS in patients undergoing THA via the DAA versus the PA. Materials and Methods: A retrospective matched pair analysis of THA patients undergoing either DAA or PA was conducted. Collected data from the hospital records focused on LOS and perioperative complications. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the significance of differences in LOS between the two approaches. Results: Each group included 69 patients. The results of the analysis revealed that there was no difference in LOS between patients who underwent DAA as compared to those who underwent PA ( Conclusion: Based on the results, we conclude that the DAA did not result in lower LOS compared with the conventional PA. This study also highlights the impact of hospital protocols, ERAS
