Are Activity Restrictions Necessary After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: There remains a lack of universal guidelines regarding the appropriate level of postoperative activity restrictions following total hip arthroplasty (THA). This systematic review aims to assess whether the liberalization of postoperative activity restrictions following THA impacts implant survivorship, return to sport, patient satisfaction, and functional health outcomes. Methods: A comprehensive search strategy was completed across PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using targeted keywords from January 1, 2010, to November 22, 2023. Inclusion criteria included randomized clinical trials, case-control, and cohort studies written in English. Data extraction focused on activity levels, rehabilitation protocols, implant survivorship, and physical and psychological outcomes. The primary search yielded 7420 articles, with 28 studies included after screening. Results: Return to sports outcomes demonstrated notable variability (20%-98.5%). Most studies reported improved survivorship in high-activity patients. High-activity participants had all-cause revision rates of 0.9%-8.57% and aseptic revision rates of 0.4%-5.7%. Low-activity participants had all-cause revision rates of 0.7%-3.4% and aseptic revision rates of 0.0%-2.1%. There was no clear association between activity level and dislocation rates. Positive associations between post-THA activities and improved mental health and patient satisfaction were observed. Conclusions: The current arthroplasty literature demonstrates that patients engaging in high-activity levels after THA exhibit similar or improved implant survivorship rates compared to patients participating in low-activity levels. However, high-quality prospective studies are needed to provide evidence-based guidelines. Patients should be encouraged to partake in activities at their own comfort levels with an understanding of their own limitations and risks.
