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
purposeThis study compared the accuracy of acetabular cup installation angles in total hip arthroplasty (THA) between a CT-based augmented reality (AR) navigation system and a noninvasive AR portable navigation system used simultaneously during surgery. Both navigation systems can be used with acetabular components from multiple manufacturers.
methodsThis study included 48 hips across 44 patients who underwent primary cementless THA in the supine position. Acetabular cup placement was guided by the AR CT-based navigation system, whereas the noninvasive AR portable navigation system provided a single static measurement after cup fixation. The cohort consisted of 12 male and 36 female hips, with a mean age of 69 years and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 24 kg/m². The target angles for cup placement were 40° for radiographic inclination (RI) and 15° for radiographic anteversion (RA). Navigation errors were defined as the absolute difference between intraoperative navigation values and postoperative CT measurements and compared between groups.
resultsRI navigation errors were similar (CT-based AR group vs. noninvasive AR portable group: 2.4°±2.0° vs. 2.8°±2.4°; not significant). In contrast, RA navigation errors were significantly smaller in the CT-based AR group (2.3°±1.8°) than in the noninvasive AR portable group (3.2°±2.4°; p < 0.05). No significant factors influencing navigation errors were identified in either group.
conclusionIn supine THA, under these static measurement conditions, RI navigation error did not differ significantly between the two systems, whereas RA navigation error was significantly greater with the noninvasive AR portable navigation system than with the AR CT-based navigation system.
