1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of one-stage combined surgical treatment in children of unilateral and bilateral developmental hip dysplasia diagnosed after walking age.

methodsWe reviewed 24 patients who underwent one-stage combined surgery for DDH diagnosed after walking age. Group I consisted of 12 patients with bilateral disease who underwent bilateral operation at one operative setting. Group II consisted of 12 patients with unilateral disease. Pre-operatively the hips were classified according to Tönnis classification. Acetabular dysplasia was evaluated by measuring acetabular index (AI) angles pre-operatively. The acetabular improvements with time regarding AI was noted immediately postoperatively, every six months, and at the final follow-up examination.

resultsMean follow up of the bilateral group I and group II were 54.8 months (range 20-84 months) and 52.6 months (24-80), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between immediate postoperative and final follow up acetabular index improvement rates in both groups. Also there was no significant difference when both hips were compared in group I. The clinical final outcome of both groups and within group I was similar.

conclusionsSimultaneous combined surgery is a challenging but worthwhile procedure for late diagnosed patients with bilateral DDH. The short-mid term outcomes of the procedure are encouraging.
