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
backgroundModified Dunn procedure has become popular for the treatment of severe cases of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE). We assessed the outcomes in a consecutive series of thirty Indian adolescents treated by the modified Dunn procedure. MATERIALS AND
methodsAll patients treated by the modified Dunn procedure by a single senior Paediatric Orthopaedic surgeon over six years were retrospectively reviewed. Only moderate and severe slips undergoing modified Dunn procedure were included. Clinical records and radiographs were reviewed to obtain demographic information; to classify the slips by duration of symptoms, severity and physeal stability; and to assess the outcomes by Harris Hip Score, radiological changes and rate of complications.
resultsThirty consecutive hips with 19 stable and 11 unstable slips were included. Mean age was 13.05 years, 25 boys and 5 girls; six were acute slips, six chronic and eighteen acute-on-chronic. There were 20 moderate and 10 severe slips. Slip angle correction was on average 43.63° ± 8.42° (
conclusionThis study adds to the evidence that the modified Dunn procedure is safe, reliable and reproducible. It should be the first choice for the treatment of moderate and severe SCFE.
