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

Introduction: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is commonly managed by in situ screw fixation. However, higher grades of slips require restoration of normal anatomy of the femoral head without compromising the blood supply. Case Report: A 16-year-old adolescent male presented with the left hip pain and progressive limping for 4 days with no history of previous trauma. On examination, the patient had severe tenderness and gross restriction of movements. Radiological examination revealed Grade 2 acute on chronic SCFE with unstable slip. Modified Dunn procedure through Ganz surgical hip dislocation facilitated the complete restoration of normal anatomy without avascular necrosis of femoral head changes at 2 years of follow-up. Conclusion: Ganz safe surgical dislocation of the hip is safe for the femoral head, preserving its blood supply in toto and the modified Dunn procedure facilitated the complete restoration of normal anatomy even in acute on chronic type of SCFE cases.
