Evolving Understanding of and Treatment Approaches to Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
purpose of reviewTo review slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), with a focus on new insights into its etiology and evolving methods of operative fixation. RECENT
findingsThe epiphyseal tubercle and its size during adolescence are paramount to understanding the mechanism of SCFE. In chronic stable SCFE, the epiphysis rotates about the tubercle protecting the lateral epiphyseal vessels from disruption. In an acute unstable SCFE, the tubercle displaces, increasing the risk of osteonecrosis, also known as avascular necrosis (AVN). Intraoperative stability suggests that stable and unstable SCFE based on ambulation may be inaccurate. For stable SCFE, in situ pinning remains the most accepted treatment for mild slips with delayed symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) management. Treatment of moderate to severe stable slips with realignment osteotomy leads to less femoral deformity and potentially better outcomes. However, it has a higher risk of complications, including AVN and chondrolysis. Our knowledge of the etiology for SCFE is evolving. The optimal technique for operative treatment of moderate to severe SCFE is controversial and varies by center. Well-controlled studies of these patients are needed to understand the best treatment for this difficult problem. Furthermore, increasing the awareness about SCFE is paramount to allow for early recognition and treatment of deformity at its early stages and avoiding severe SCFE deformity which has been associated with worse long-term outcomes.
