Fluoroscopy Computer Navigation Versus Manual Fluoroscopic Acetabular Positioning in Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty: Safe Zone Compliance and Learning Curve Analysis.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 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
Background: Fluoroscopy is commonly leveraged in direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty (DAA-THA). Computer-navigation systems provide real-time guidance aiming to enhance component positioning, but their learning curves and component accuracy remains incompletely characterized. This study evaluated the learning curve and safe zone compliance after implementation of computer navigation in DAA-THA. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed 200 consecutive primary DAA-THA cases performed by a single high-volume surgeon: 100 manual and 100 computer-navigated cases using the Velys Hip Navigation system. Acetabular component inclination and anteversion were measured on postoperative standing radiographs. Safe zone compliance was assessed using surgeon-defined, Lewinnek, and Callanan criteria. Learning curve analysis utilized segmented linear regression and cumulative sum methods. Operative time, fluoroscopy exposure, and component safe zone compliance were compared between groups. Results: Operative time stabilized after 6 cases ( Conclusions: Fluoroscopic based computer navigation was associated with higher safe zone compliance in DAA-THA with a rapid 6-case learning curve and reduced operative time, without increasing radiation exposure.
