Outcomes of single-incision-augmented core decompression using trochanteric autograft in osteonecrosis of femoral head-a mean 5-year follow-up study.

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
Osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) can be a debilitating disease, for which numerous salvage surgeries have been popularized to halt its progression. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of a single-incision core decompression (CD) technique using trochanteric autograft in ONFH and to determine the prognostic factors of treatment success. Sixty-six hips (41 patients) of Association Research Circulation (ARCO) 1 and 2 ONFH undergoing CD were included in the study with a mean follow-up of 58 months. Treatment failure was taken as radiographic collapse and/or conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). The following clinical and radiological factors impacting outcomes were evaluated-symptom duration, etiology, age, sex and body mass index, ARCO grade, Japanese Investigation Committee grade, modified Kerboul angle, and bone marrow edema (BME) on magnetic resonance imaging. Twenty-one of the 66 hips (31.8%) had a radiological collapse by the last follow-up, and 6 hips (9%) required THA. Overall, significant improvement in Harris hip scores (60.18 versus 80.81,
