Incidence and complication rate of arthroplasty in Perthes disease management: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Perthes disease presents a challenge in orthopedic management, often necessitating surgical intervention such as arthroplasty. This meta-analysis systematically evaluated the rate of occurrence and complications associated with arthroplasty in Perthes disease. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Sciences, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases to identify relevant studies. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies evaluating arthroplasty outcomes in patients with Perthes disease. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers. Results were synthesized using random effects models, and heterogeneity was assessed using I Results: We found that the incidence of arthroplasty among the 18 studies included in the meta-analysis was 7 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.045-0.95, I Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that arthroplasty is a relatively uncommon procedure for Perthes disease management. Complications following arthroplasty are a significant concern, affecting nearly one-quarter of patients. Although the use of arthroplasty in Perthes is uncommon, the rate of complications has raised concerns, indicating its use is relatively unsafe. Therefore, in patients with Perthes disease who undergo arthroplasty, attention should be given to the risk of complications, and preventive measures need to be investigated to overcome this risk. Type of study: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Level of evidence: II.
