Simultaneous Bilateral Total hip Arthroplasty in Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis via Direct Anterior Approach: Long-Term Outcomes.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2024. 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: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often results in significant bilateral hip damage, necessitating total hip arthroplasty (THA). Simultaneous bilateral THA offers potential advantages, particularly when executed via the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA). This study aims to assess the functional, radiological, and patient-reported outcomes, along with the complications of bilateral uncemented THA performed via DAA in patients with JIA. Methods: A retrospective review of 39 patients with JIA who underwent bilateral THA via DAA from January 2006-January 2015 was conducted. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined, focusing on a minimum of 7 years of post-THA follow-up. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Harris Hip Score. Results: Data were available for 33 patients (66 hips). The mean age at surgery was 21.3 years, and the average follow-up was 11.3 years. All patients reported severe bilateral hip pain presurgery, which was alleviated post-THA. The mean preoperative Harris Hip Score improved from 49.6-79.7 postoperatively. Complications included 3 calcar cracks, 2 greater trochanter fractures, and 1 superficial wound dehiscence. No instances of dislocation, postoperative periprosthetic fracture, or any revision surgery were recorded. Conclusions: Simultaneous bilateral THA using DAA is an effective and safe surgical approach for patients with JIA with bilateral end-stage hip involvement, providing notable improvements in functional and radiological outcomes while maintaining a favorable complication profile. Level of evidence: IV.
