Arthroscopic Treatment of Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head arises due to inadequate blood supply to the femoral head, leading to cell death, fracture, and eventually collapse. The disease often begins as asymptomatic but can present with pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion in later phases. These symptoms cause disability, predominantly in young to middle-aged individuals. Both conservative and operative treatment modalities have been used depending on the progression of the disease. Timely surgical intervention is essential to enhance outcomes and avert stress fractures, subchondral collapse, and secondary hip arthritis. This technical note presents an arthroscopic approach to core decompression for the minimally invasive management of avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
