Multicenter epidemiological investigation and analysis of factors associated with transient synovitis of the hip in 5065 children treated across 32 tertiary children's hospitals in China.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics and factors associated with transient synovitis of the hip (TSH) in Chinese children.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the data of children with TSH who were hospitalized across 32 pediatric tertiary hospitals affiliated with China's Futang Research Center of Pediatric Development between December 1, 2015, and December 31, 2022. We used the ICD10 codes on the first page of the medical records to identify the cases and extracted data on age, sex, diagnosis, treatment methods, onset time, region, and various expenses incurred during hospitalization.
resultsThe study cohort comprised a total of 5065 children, including 3711 males and 1354 females. The age group with the highest number of TSH cases was the preschool children group, with 2452 cases (48.4%), and the lowest number of cases was recorded in the adolescent group, with 119 cases (2.3%). In terms of hospitalization time, the adolescent group had the longest average hospitalization time of 9.4 ± 5.6 days. In terms of the geographical distribution of onset, the number of cases in East China was higher than that in other geographical regions. In addition, in terms of treatment options, children were more likely to receive conservative treatment (7,667 instances) than surgical treatment (80 instances). Among conservative treatments, the most common was skin traction (4,508 instances). Among the various hospitalization expenses, the cost of examinations was the highest, reaching USD 188.35.
conclusionThis study summarizes the epidemiological characteristics of transient synovitis of the hip (TSH) in Chinese children, providing important clinical data to support the overall understanding and treatment of this disease.
