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
purposeTraumatic anterior hip dislocation is a severe but poorly studied injury. This study aimed to analyze characteristics, risk factors and prognostic factors regarding long-term morbidity and outcomes in patients who had sustained traumatic anterior hip dislocation.
methodsDemographics, injury mechanism, and treatment-related characteristics of patients with anterior hip dislocations at three level-one trauma centers from 2009-2023 were analyzed. Acetabular and femoral morphology were assessed using CT scans to identify anatomical risk factors. Incidence of avascular necrosis (AVN), post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), further complications, return to work and sports, and patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), including Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) and modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) were recorded at the follow-up.
resultsOut of 196 patients with traumatic hip dislocations, 19 anterior dislocations (12 iliac anterosuperior and 7 obturator) were identified. Ipsilateral knee injuries occurred in 36.8%, and 73.7% had concomitant femoral head or acetabular rim fractures. Obturator dislocations were commonly simple dislocations, while iliac dislocations involved more complex associated fractures often requiring surgery. Acetabular anteversion and cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) were identified as risk factors. Twelve patients (63%) were available for follow-up (mean 8.33 ± 5.05 years). The majority demonstrated good to excellent mHHS (mean 86.9), and minimal TAS decrease (5.33 to 4.67). AVN was not observed, and only one patient required hip arthroplasty following PTOA.
conclusionAnterior hip dislocations commonly result from high-energy "dashboard" injuries, with acetabular anteversion and cam-type FAI morphology being contributing risk factors. Long-term functional outcomes were favorable, with low rates of avascular necrosis or osteoarthritis, independent of type and complexity of the dislocation.
