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
introductionTuberculous (TB) coxitis, constituting 15-20% of musculoskeletal tuberculosis cases, often leads to late-stage complications. Joint replacement yields unsatisfactory results. This study aims to know about the efficacy of pelvic support osteotomy (PSO) with subsequent femoral lengthening in treating late TB coxitis in skeletally immature patients.
methodsThirteen pediatric patients with late TB coxitis underwent retrospective analysis from 2016 to 2024. PSO with femoral lengthening, utilizing limb reconstruction systems (LRS) external fixator, was performed. Outcomes were assessed using pain scale, Harris Hip Score (HHS), leg length discrepancy (LLD), hip range of motion (ROM), Trendelenburg gait, and complications. Radiographs evaluated surgical results and remodeling at the PSO site since all patients were skeletally immature.
resultAll patients exhibited improved outcomes. Pain was decreased significantly, and hip ROM increased significantly from pre- to postoperative. LLD was found in 9 patients due to premature consolidation with two had to be re-lengthened due to LLD exceeding 5 cm. Trendelenburg gait re-appeared in 7/13 patients after 2 years. HHS was increased significantly, and the PSO angle decreased significantly. DISCUSSION: This study introduces PSO with femoral lengthening as a reliable method, showcasing favorable clinical outcomes and addressing complications associated with other procedures.
conclusionPSO with subsequent femoral lengthening proves to be a dependable approach for managing late TB coxitis in children. Further research with a larger sample size and long-term follow-up is warranted to assess the durability of this procedure and identify potential late complications necessitating alternative reconstruction strategies.
