Maintenance of acetabular correction following PAO: a multicenter study comparing stainless-steel and titanium screws.
Article in Journal of hip preservation surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Stainless-steel screws are commonly used for fragment fixation during periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) at our institutions. Titanium is reserved for patients with documented nickel allergies. Titanium screws possess a significantly lower Young's modulus than stainless steel and, therefore, potentially less resistance to physiologic loading. Thus, we hypothesized that the use of titanium screws might be associated with changes in acetabular correction prior to healing. The aim of this study was to compare the maintenance of acetabular correction following PAO using stainless-steel or titanium screws. A documented nickel allergy was confirmed with an allergy specialist. Patients' age at surgery, gender and BMI were collected. The lateral center-edge angle of Wiberg (LCEA), medial center-edge angle (MCEA), anterior wall index (AWI), posterior wall index (PWI) and Tönnis angle were measured. The delta value for radiographic parameters was calculated as the difference between values immediately post-operation and at 6 months post-operation. Only age at surgery (
