Is combined surgical dislocation and proximal femoral osteotomy a safe procedure for correction of complex hip deformities?

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
Complex deformities of the hip requiring intra-articular and proximal femoral correction are challenging with regard to surgical access and complication risk. Combined surgical dislocation and proximal femoral osteotomy (SD/PFO) is a surgical strategy that provides unrestricted access to the joint with the capability for adjunctive PFO. Although providing excellent surgical access, concerns over a potentially high risk of postoperative complications remain, and published information on the safety of this technique remain scarce. In this study, we defined the early complication profile of combined surgery across 48 hips with a variety of complex deformities using a standardized, validated complication grading scheme for hip preservation surgery. Patients were mean age 19.1 years 13-33 years and 60% had previous surgery. At the early mean follow-up of 2.9 years, considerable improvement was seen across all outcome scores. Major complications (Grade III or higher) occurred at a rate of 4.2% (
