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

Case: We describe the case of a 78-year-old multimorbid male patient with a history of right-sided total hip arthroplasty in 1996 and homologous acetabular bone graft reconstruction according to Slooff in 2009. In December 2024, the patient presented with acute right hip pain due to acute on chronic loosening of the implant. Diagnostic workup revealed a low-grade periprosthetic joint infection with Conclusion: Reconstruction of acetabular defects, particularly in cases of severe bone loss or medial wall protrusion, remains a significant challenge in revision total hip arthroplasty (rTHA). The Slooff technique, involving morselized homologous bone grafts impacted into the acetabular defect and stabilized with a cemented cup, has been widely adopted for such cases due to its relative simplicity and promising midterm outcomes. However, the biological and mechanical long-term integration of such constructs, as observed in this case, remains a topic of ongoing debate.
