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

introductionThe treatment concept for slipped capital femoral epiphysis is still controversial. According to studies, there is currently no recommendation for a universal approach. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the care reality of children with ECF in Germany.

methodsThe evaluation of the study is performed based on a questionnaire sent to physicians tending to ECF in 2021. Data is compared to the literature.

results36 of 47 questionnaires sent out were included. Overall, no significant difference in ECF care was proven in terms of annual caseload or the size of hospital.

conclusionA high variance in operative SCFE treatment is reported. According to current literature, the modified Dunn procedure is considered the best therapeutic option to date, especially for patients with severe or chronic ECF. However, compared with alternative care options, this is not feasible in every hospital due to its complicating and challenging nature. Central registration, minimum volume regulation, and expansion of continuing education measures can contribute to optimization.
