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

Avascular necrosis, a serious slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) complication, is difficult to treat. We report a rare case of revascularization of the necrotic femoral head in a 12-year-old male patient with a severe SCFE (posterior tilting angle, 87°). We performed the modified Dunn procedure (MDP), followed by long-term unloading therapy. Blood flow to the epiphysis had partially resumed 2.3 years postoperatively. At the final 4.5-year follow-up, blood flow had been restored, leading to epiphyseal closure without significant femoral head deformity or hip pain. The patient could walk unassisted, with a flexion range of 120°. These findings support the use of the MDP with long-term unloading therapy as a potential treatment option for severe SCFE.
