1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeOsteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is common in skeletally immature patients. The management of ONFH is controversial, with limited evidence and unpredictable results. This study systematically reviewed the current operative modalities and clinical outcomes of surgical management for ONFH in skeletally immature patients.

methodsThe present study was conducted according to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, and Web of Science databases were accessed in October 2021. All the published clinical studies reporting data concerning the surgical management of ONFH in skeletally immature patients were included.

resultsThis review included 122 patients (127 hips). 38.2% (46 of 122) were female. The mean age of the patients was 14.2 ± 2.3 years. The mean duration of the follow-up was 55.3 ± 19.6 months. The Harris Hip Score improved from 68.8 ± 11.9 at baseline to 90.5 ± 6.5 at last follow-up (

conclusionSeveral surgical techniques are available and effective for the management of ONFH in skeletally immature patients. This study evidenced high heterogeneity of the surgical procedures and eligibility criteria. Further high-quality investigations are required to establish proper indications and surgical modalities.
