Clinical and surgical factors influencing screw breakage during hardware removal following periacetabular osteotomy.

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
Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a procedure used to treat patients with hip dysplasia. Current literature reports symptomatic hardware removal (HWR) rates of 13.6% following PAO. No reports have examined the incidence of or factors relating to screw breakage during HWR. This study reports the incidence of screw breakage in patients undergoing HWR following PAO and examines the associated clinical and surgical factors. Patients who underwent PAO by a single surgeon from 2012 to 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic, surgical, and implant information was collected. Constructs were stratified by number (three-screw and four-screw) and type (3.5 mm only, 4.5 mm only, and mixed). Incidence rates of HWR and screw breakage were calculated. Three hundred and two hips from 254 patients undergoing PAO were included. Seventy-one hips from 58 patients underwent HWR (23.5%). Eighteen of 259 screws (6.9%) were broken upon removal in 10/71 hips (14.1%). Significantly more 3.5-mm screws were removed (24.7% vs 21.2%;
