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

Background: Acetabular revision total hip arthroplasty is associated with high rates of instability and aseptic loosening. Dual-mobility cups (DMCs) reduce dislocation risk and three-dimensional (3D)-printed porous metal surfaces enhance biologic fixation. The combination of these 2 technologies in a monoblock cementless construct has not been specifically evaluated in the revision setting. The purpose of this study was to assess short- to mid-term survivorship, clinical and radiographic outcomes, and complications of a 3D-printed porous monoblock DMC used in acetabular revision. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 89 consecutive patients who underwent acetabular revision with the a 3D-rinted porous monoblock DMC between November 2017 and June 2024 at a single academic institution. The primary endpoint was all-cause re-revision; secondary outcomes were Harris Hip Score, complications, and radiographic assessment using the DeLee and Charnley zones. Implant survival was estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: Mean follow-up was 44.3 ± 24.9 months. Five patients (5.6%) underwent re-revision. The 2-year and 5-year survival rates were 95.4% (95% confidence interval, 88.2-98.2) and 93.2% (95% confidence interval, 83.7-97.2), respectively. The mean Harris Hip Score improved from 48.8 ± 18.2 preoperatively to 94.4 ± 11.5 at the latest follow-up ( Conclusions: The 3D-printed porous monoblock DMC provided reliable fixation, excellent functional improvement, and a low dislocation rate in acetabular revision with predominantly contained defects at short- to mid-term follow-up.
