The Impact of Spinal Fusion on Hip Displacement in Cerebral Palsy.
Article in Indian journal of orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
BACKGROUND AND STUDY
aimsThe aims of this study were to determine the risk of progressive hip subluxation in children with CP after spinal fusion for scoliosis and how frequent the hips follow-up should be scheduled. PATIENTS AND
methodsPelvis radiography [migration index (MI) and pelvic obliquity (PO)] of Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels IV and V children with CP who received spinal fusion and pelvic fixation were reviewed retrospectively. This population was categorized into three groups based on the MI at spinal fusion: G1 = 0-29%; G2 = 30-59%; and G3 = 60-100%.
resultsFifty children (age 7.5-15.0 years) and categorized into 3 groups (G1 = 19, G2 = 23, G3 = 8; 100 hips in total). Preoperative and last follow-up MI were 22 ± 7% and 30 ± 20% (G1), 41 ± 9% and 43 ± 22% (G2), 92 ± 15% and 97 ± 10% (G3). The MIs at spinal fusion between groups were statistically different (
conclusionsIn GMFCS IV and V children with the highest risk for progression occurred with increasing preoperative MI, especially over 50%. Hips should be monitored continuously after spinal fusion until hip stability is documented.
