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

backgroundAtraumatic hip pain in children is one of the most common symptoms with which pediatricians, orthopedists, and general practitioners are confronted, with an incidence of 148 cases per 100 000 persons per year.

methodsThis article is based on publications up to April 2019 that were retrieved by a selective search in the PubMed data- base, including case reports and reviews.

resultsInfants with fever often have purulent coxitis, which can be diagnosed by blood tests and ultrasonography. Toddlers and older children may suffer from painful restriction of motion of the hip joint, associated with limping (antalgic gait) or even the in- ability to walk. The main elements of the differential diagnosis in children aged 2-10 are coxitis fugax and idiopathic necrosis of the femoral head (Perthes disease). In children aged 10 and up, and in adolescents, slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is typical. Bone tumors and rheumatic diseases must always be considered as well. The initial diagnostic steps on presentation of a child with restricted hip movement should be plain x-rays and joint ultrasonography for the detection of an effusion. Suspicion of a tumor is the main indication for tomographic imaging (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging).

conclusionThe underlying cause of hip pain in children should be diagnosed early to avoid adverse sequelae.
