Clinical and radiological outcomes of Salter versus Pemberton osteotomies in the management of developmental dysplasia of the hip: A retrospective comparative study.
Article in Acta orthopaedica et traumatologica turcica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between Salter and Pemberton pelvic osteotomies and avascular necrosis of femoral head in the management of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
methodsThis retrospective study included 69 hips of 52 patients aged between 12-36 months, diagnosed as DDH who had undergone either Salter or Pemberton pelvic osteotomy with Smith Petersen approach. There were 35 patients in Salter Pelvic Osteotomy and 34 patients in Pemberton Pelvic Osteotomy groups. Before the treatment of DDH, Tönnis classification was used, preoperative and 24th month postoperative Acetabular Index (AI) angles were measured. Kalamchi-MacEwen grades of avascular necrosis were determined in terms of presence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
resultsThere were no significant differences between two osteotomy groups at the end of mid-term follow up in terms of the radiological parameters and avascular necrosis of femoral head. However it was found that the increased avascular necrosis incidence was significantly associated with Tönnis grade 4 hips.
conclusionSalter and Pemberton osteotomies can be both used safely in the treatment of DDH regarding their effect on the femoral head. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, Therapeutic Study.
