Direct anterior approach or posterior approach in total hip arthroplasty: A direct comparative study protocol.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It carries an expression of concern. 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
backgroundTwo familiar surgical methods, posterior approach (PA) and direct anterior approach (DAA), have been extensively utilized in the treatment of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with similar long-term rates of success. The sufficient sample size and a good clinical trial are urgently needed. Considering the above factors, we implemented a retrospective research to compare the prognosis of patients with primary THA receiving the techniques of PA or DAA.
methodsThis is an observational retrospective research that prospectively collected information via several surgeons at a center utilizing the 2 above treatment methods for unilateral primary total hip arthroplasty. A review of primary THA performed with DAA or PA between February 2017 and February 2019 was conducted in our hospital. The inclusion criteria contained the degenerative changes in end-stage of hip owing to the rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, and osteoarthritis, as well as the Crowe I and II dysplasia that did not require the enhancement. The primary endpoint was the Harris hip score. The measures of secondary outcome contained the operation time, length of incision, hospital stay, the complications after operation, as well as patient satisfaction. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20.0 was utilizing for the statistical analysis (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY).
resultsWe assumed that the 2 treatment methods possess similar results.
trial registrationThis study protocol was registered in Research Registry (researchregistry6008).
