Hip Arthroscopy and Core Decompression for Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head Using a Specific Aiming Guide: A Step-by-Step Surgical Technique.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Avascular necrosis of the femoral (AVN) head is a disabling disease that affects function, mobility, and quality of life in the young adult. Its pathology involves blood circulation disruption of the femoral head and subchondral infarction. This leads to cartilage thinning, femoral head depression, and cartilage breakage, which results in hip osteoarthritis. In the past decade the prevalence of intraarticular pathology has been almost 95%, this revealed with hip arthroscopy (HA). HA and core decompression (CD) of the femoral head can be used effectively and concomitantly to treat AVN with excellent results, HA allows for excellent visualization of the hip joint cartilage, allowing treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and intra-articular pathology. Our technique demonstrates that retrograde core decompression with allograft and mixed bone matrix is an excellent choice of treatment in the early stages of AVN/ONFH. The femoral head-specific aiming guide is very reliable, is simple to use arthroscopically if placed in the posterolateral portal of the hip, and offers exact pin placement at the necrotic site, as well as less operative time and less radiation to the patient and surgical team.
