Slipped capital femoral epiphysis: emphasis on early recognition and potential pitfalls.
Review in Skeletal radiology, 2025. 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
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a shearing injury through the growth plate of the proximal femur and is the most common hip disorder in adolescence. Delays in diagnosis persist across practice settings despite ongoing innovations in imaging. Recent insights into pathomechanics highlight the importance of femoral head surface morphology and rotational microinstability centered at the epiphyseal tubercle in causing early physeal changes, which can be detected on imaging prior to frank slip. Scrutiny of physeal morphology and comparison to the contralateral hip is critical at all stages of disease progression, and improper technique may result in undue diagnostic delay. Selective use of cross-sectional imaging can be helpful for troubleshooting equivocal early slips and can inform operative technique and adjuvant therapy candidacy in more severe cases. This review provides a comprehensive approach to imaging suspected slipped capital femoral epiphysis, with an emphasis on early detection and potential pitfalls.
