Periacetabular osteotomy versus hip arthroscopy in patients with borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip: A systematic review and multi-level meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of experimental orthopaedics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Purpose: A comprehensive meta-analysis is required to address the lack of quantitative evidence on treatment outcomes in borderline developmental dysplasia of the hip (BDDH). This study compares periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) and hip arthroscopy (HAS) through a multi-level meta-analysis, providing quantitative insights into their efficacy and safety. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Epistemonikos, and Embase up to February 28, 2025. A frequentist meta-analysis was performed using the Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman heterogeneity estimator. Continuous variables were analyzed using mean values with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and binary outcomes as proportions with 95% CIs. Sensitivity analysis compared studies defining BDDH as 20-25° versus all included studies. Statistical heterogeneity was assessed using Higgins' Results: The literature search identified 39 primary studies with a total of 2075 patients (2121 hips). The test for subgroup differences showed no statistically significant difference between the PAO group and the HAS group in post-operative mHHS ( Conclusion: PAO and HAS yield comparable short- to mid-term outcomes in BDDH. Long-term studies are needed to determine whether HAS is a definitive treatment or delays structural correction. Future research should standardize BDDH definitions (LCEA 20-25°) to enhance comparability and treatment consistency. Level of Evidence: A meta-analysis of retrospective and prospective primary studies.
