Idiopathic Chondrolysis of the Hip in Two Adolescent Females: A Six-Year Follow-Up.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip (ICH) is a rare condition with only a few cases reported in the literature. The average age at the onset of the disease is 11 years, with females having six times higher incidence than males. We report two cases of ICH in two medically free 10-year-old females who presented with atraumatic insidious hip pain and limping. No significant past medical, surgical, or family history was recorded. Laboratory studies were within normal limits, and the imaging showed the pathogenic changes of hip chondrolysis. Both cases were treated conservatively, and regular follow-ups in the clinic showed progressive limitation of the hip range of motion with arthritic changes on plain radiographs. Altogether, ICH is rare and can be misdiagnosed as inflammatory or infectious hip arthritis. Clinical assessment and image interpretation can lead to early diagnosis. Pain management and physical therapy with a prolonged period of protected weight-bearing are the mainstays of treatment.
