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
introductionShelf acetabuloplasty for acetabular dysplasia is being reevaluated as a less invasive, joint preservation surgery. However, there are few reports on validation of the proper placement of the grafting shelf. In this study, finite element analysis was performed to examine the optimal location of shelves from the perspective of stress reduction by simulating various shelf installation patterns. MATERIALS AND
methodsFifteen patients scheduled for shelf acetabuloplasty were included. Using preoperative computed tomography, we created a total of 81 shelf installation models per case. The equivalent stress at loading area of the acetabulum was analyzed, and the stress reduction ratio was calculated based on the preoperative values.
resultsAmong the 1215 shelf models across 15 cases, 284 (23.3%) demonstrated a stress reduction exceeding 10%. Multiple regression analysis showed that the center-edge angle was the strongest factor associated with postoperative stress reductio n (p < 0.001). Moreover, the equivalent stress values on the acetabulum were significantly lower for lateral shelf placement than the anterior position (p < 0.05). The reduction rate of acetabular stress exhibited a significant correlation with the equivalent stress on the “inner shelf”, the part implanted in the pelvis, (p < 0.0001). The stress on the inner shelf was significantly greater in the lateral position than the anterior position (p < 0.001).
conclusionsConsidering load dispersion, lateral installation is advantageous for effective load dispersion. Additionally, stress changes in the acetabulum are influenced by the stresses applied to the inner shelf.
