The Impact of Hip Osteoarthritis on Patient Reported Outcomes Following Lumbar Fusion.
Article in Global spine journal, 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
Study DesignRetrospective Cohort Study.ObjectivesWith an aging population, the burden of concomitant joint disease continues to rise. The effects of hip OA on lumbar fusion outcomes are underexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to: (1) describe demographic differences between Osteoarthritis (OA) patients and those without OA; (2) assess perioperative differences; and (3) compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).MethodsA retrospective review of a single academic tertiary center was performed (2016-2025). Patients undergoing lumbar fusion with isolated hip OA or no diagnosis of OA, and 12-month ODI scores were included. Patients with prior arthroplasty were excluded. Kellgren-Lawrence scores were collected through chart review or graded on x-ray when missing. Patients were stratified based on the presence of Hip OA. Bivariate comparison was performed as appropriate. Multivariable regressions were performed to identify independent predictors of PROMs.ResultsA total of 271 patients were included (No OA: 229; OA: 42). There were significant differences between groups regarding age (71.8 versus 60.2 years,
