Primary Hypothyroidism Presenting as Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis in an Adult Patient : A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is rare in adults and is often associated with endocrine pathology. Case Report: We report a case of a 21-year-old male presenting with an acute on chronic left hip SCFE who was diagnosed with primary hypothyroidism on the investigation. The patient was treated for hypothyroidism and positional reduction with in-situ fixation was carried out with two cannulated cancellous screws for the SCFE. At the latest follow-up of 30 months, patient remains asymptomatic, euthyroid, with a nearly full range of motion in the hips, significant functional improvement, fused physis on radiographs, and no signs of avascular necrosis. Conclusion: SCFE is a potentially devastating but avoidable complication in children/adults with the endocrine disorder and there may be a possible role for a screening pelvic radiograph in detecting this condition earlier.
