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: The Neck-shaft Angle (NSA) is a reliable predictor of the outcome of internal fixation for femoral neck fractures. Surgical Hip Dislocation Combined with Femoral Neck Rotational Osteotomy (SHD-FNRO) is an effective surgical method for treating femoral head necrosis. However, the potential role of NSA in predicting the outcomes of hip preservation after SHD-FNRO has not been explored. Objective: This study aims to investigate the value of NSA in predicting the outcomes of hip preservation after SHD-FNRO by comparing the results among different patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) who were treated with SHD-FNRO. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 33 patients (33 hips) who underwent SHD-FNRO at our hospital between January 2017 and December 2021. Based on the outcome of hip preservation, patients were divided into two groups: group A (successful hip preservation) and group B (failed hip preservation). Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate any differences between these groups. Additionally, three-dimensional models with varying NSA values were created to analyze changes in maximum displacement and stress on the osteotomy surface. Results: During a mean follow-up period of approximately 40 months, successful hip preservation was achieved in 26 patients while 7 patients experienced failure. There was a statistically significant difference in NSA between these two groups (P < 0.05). Biomechanical analysis demonstrated a close relationship between NSA and postoperative biomechanical changes. Conclusion: The size of NSA is closely associated with the success rate of hip preservation when treating osteonecrosis of the femoral head using SHD-FNRO. Therefore, careful attention should be given to selecting an appropriate osteotomy surface that can adjust NSA size effectively, thus achieving better outcomes for hip preservation.
