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 and purposeOur aim was to compare age at time of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and the THA survival time in patients with late-detected developmental dislocation and dysplasia of the hip (DDH) treated with traction in childhood who had either undergone acetabular shelf operation due to persistent DDH, or no previous acetabular surgery but persistent DDH, or no previous acetabular surgery and CE angle ≥ 18°.
methods112 patients (97 females; 144 hips) with late-detected DDH who had undergone THA were studied. 70 hips had undergone a modified Spitzy procedure (SA group) at the age of 8-33 years. They were compared with 2 groups that had not undergone previous pelvic surgery: a "Dysplasia" group with residual (persistent) acetabular dysplasia (CE angle < 18°, 33 hips) and a "Normal" group with no residual dysplasia (37 hips). We analyzed age at THA and the survival rate (percentage of THAs not having undergone revision).
resultsMean patient age at THA did not differ between the SA group (52 years) and the Dysplasia group (49 years; P = 0.1). 11 THAs had been revised in the SA group and 9 in the Dysplasia group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed 20-year survival rates of 88% in the SA group and 68% in the Dysplasia group. The estimated survival time of THA was significantly higher in the SA group than in the Dysplasia group (29.4 and 19.8 years; P = 0.01). Mean age at THA was significantly lower in the Dysplasia group than in the Normal group (49 and 55 years), but there was no significant difference between these groups in estimated survival time of THA.
conclusionA previous acetabular shelf operation in patients with persistent DDH does not appear to delay age at THA but THA had better survival rate.
