Radiological Outcomes of Femoral Head Resection in Patients with Cerebral Palsy: A Retrospective Comparative Study of Two Surgical Procedures.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05593887 (Late-presenting Hip Dislocation in Non-ambulatory Children With Cerebral Palsy), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundWe conducted this study to compare postoperative radiological outcomes of two surgical procedures (femoral head resection (FHR) and femoral head cap plastic surgery (FCP)) in patients with CP and hip dislocation.
methodsCP patients with Gross Motor Function Classification Score (GMFCS) IV or V, who underwent either FHR or FCP between 2007 and 2018 at Heidelberg University Hospital in Germany, were included. Most participants underwent postoperative traction in an attempt to prevent telescoping. Besides the above-mentioned objectives, we examined the association between telescoping and spasmolytic use, traction weight, and traction duration.
resultsThirty-eight CP patients were included, of whom 15 (25 hips) underwent FHR and 23 (30 hips) underwent FCP. Heterotopic ossification (grades I, II, and III) occurred in 80% and 83.3% of patients in the FHR and FCP groups, respectively. Telescoping occurred in 18.68 and 31.99% of patients in the FHR and FCP groups, respectively (
conclusionsThe postoperative outcomes of FHR and FCP are similar in terms of telescoping, heterotopic ossification, and complications. Although telescoping was encountered more in the FCP group, no significant difference from the FHR group was found. We noted that the weight of traction could reduce the development of telescoping.
