Radiographic characteristics of the hip joint in skeletally mature patients with multiple hereditary exostoses.
Article in Skeletal radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo elucidate the radiological characteristics of the hips, especially in proximal femur, of skeletally mature patients with multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE). MATERIALS AND
methodsFifty eligible patients (100 hips) were included in the study and assigned to the MHE group. The control group included age- and sex-matched individuals, and the radiographs of 100 hips were used as controls. We examined the anatomical characteristics of the acetabulum and the proximal femur, including the acetabular depth-width ratio (ADR), Sharp's angle, femoral neck-shaft angle (NSA), Wiberg's centre-edge angle (CEA), femoral neck axis length (FNAL), femoral head diameter, (FHD), femoral neck width (FNW), femoral shaft width (FSW), femoral neck-shaft angle (NSA), and femoral head-neck ratio (FHNR = FHD/FNW). p value < 0.05 was considered significant.
resultsOsteochondroma was frequently observed in the medial femoral neck (79%), but it was rarely found in the femoral head (1%). ADR and Sharp's angle were not significantly different between the MHE and control groups (p = 0.2056, p = 0.5025). CEA was significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.0001). FNW was significantly larger in the MHE group than in the control group (p < 0.0001). FHNR was significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.0001). NSA was significantly larger than the MHE group (141.8° ± 9.7° vs 129.5° ± 5.6°, p < 0.0001).
conclusionsHip dysplasia in the pelvic side was not commonly observed in skeletally mature MHE patients. However, they showed femoral neck widening and coxa valga. The occurrence of osteochondroma around the femoral neck affects the degree of valgus deformity. These facts could be useful for orthopaedic surgeons treating MHE patients.
