The sequelae of septic hip arthritis in children: a revised classification and case review.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundExisting classification systems for sequelae of pediatric septic arthritis of the hip (SAH) are notably complex. This study introduces a simplified radiographic classification-the Xi'an Honghui Hospital Paediatric Orthopaedic Classification (HHPO classification)-designed to enhance accuracy in treatment planning and prognostic evaluation.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted involving 18 pediatric patients with SAH. Pelvic radiographs were evaluated to assess the structural integrity of the femoral head and neck and their spatial relationship with the acetabulum. Based on these assessments, the HHPO classification was developed. Six independent observers classified each case using both the HHPO and Choi systems. Interobserver reliability and two-week intraobserver consistency were assessed and compared between the two classifications.
resultsThe distribution according to the HHPO classification was as follows: Type IA (
conclusionThe HHPO classification is simpler, more reproducible, and demonstrates potential clinical utility for managing pediatric SAH sequelae in this cohort.
