1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Determining which patients with acetabular dysplasia will benefit most from periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) can be challenging. Intra-articular corticosteroid injection (CSI) is often used for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes in various hip pathologies. This study aims to assess the relationship between self-reported preoperative CSI pain relief and postoperative pain relief after PAO. The case log of a single hip-preservation surgeon was queried from 2013 onward for patients who underwent PAO with preoperative intra-articular CSI. Patients were asked, 'overall, what percent improved are your symptoms from 0-100%?' following preoperative CSI and again at each postoperative visit. A successful postoperative pain outcome was defined as pain relief ≥75% compared to preoperative symptoms at the approximate 6 month postoperative visit. A total of 76 hips met inclusion criteria. Average self-reported relief from preoperative intra-articular CSI was 70 ± 35%. Mean postoperative pain relief was 88 ± 18%. Analysis showed a positive but weak correlation between preoperative CSI response and postoperative relief (0.278,
