Redisplacement rate after bony hip reconstructive surgery in nonambulatory patients with cerebral palsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in EFORT open reviews, 2024. 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
Purpose: Up to 90% of nonambulatory patients with cerebral palsy (CP) experience hip displacement during their lifetime. Reconstructive surgery is recommended. Redisplacement rate is an outcome parameter. Methods: In a systematic literature review (MEDLINE, Embase and CENTRAL databases) until January 2023 we searched for reports with redisplacement rates after bony hip reconstructive surgery in nonambulatory patients. Quantitative data synthesis, subgroup analysis and meta-regression with moderators were carried out. Results: The pooled mean redisplacement rate was 16% (95% CI: 12-21%) with a prediction interval of 3-51% (Q: 149; df: 32; P < 0.001; I2: 78%; τ2: 0.67 and τ: 0.82) in 28 studies (1540 hips). Varus derotation osteotomy (VDRO) alone showed a higher redisplacement rate than VDRO + pelvic osteotomy (30% vs 12%, P < .0001). Mean age in the VDRO-alone subgroup was 7.1 years and in the combined group 9.5 years (P = .004). In meta-regression, lower redisplacement rates were observed with higher preoperative migration index (MI) (correlation coefficient: -0.0279; P = .0137), where comprehensive surgery was performed. Variance in true effects are explained by type of bone surgery (57%), preoperative MI (11%), age (5%) and MI for definition of failure (20%). No significant reduction in the redisplacement rate could be observed over the mid-years of studies (1977-2015). Conclusion: Our pooled data support the more extensive surgical approach in patients with high preoperative MI and emphasize the superiority of combined surgery. Studies should report a coordinated set of parameters and outcome classifications according to internationally accepted gradings to reduce redisplacement in future.
