Physeal Growth Following In Situ Pinning for Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis and Hypothyroid Treatment: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a common adolescent hip condition, most often seen during periods of rapid bone growth. Deficiency in thyroid hormone levels can lead to reduced bone turnover and altered epiphyseal plate activity, which may influence the outcome of SCFE pinning and other orthopedic interventions crossing the epiphysis of the femur. Our patient was a 12-year-old female child with a two-month history of atraumatic right hip pain who presented with bilateral slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and underwent successful bilateral in situ pinning. An endocrinology workup revealed untreated hypothyroidism and the patient was started on thyroid replacement. Ten months later, X-rays revealed migration of the screws and the patient required bilateral screw removal and replacement. Patients with previously untreated hypothyroidism at the time of SCFE pinning should be monitored closely with routine X-rays until adequate stabilization of thyroid hormone levels.
