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

Periacetabular osteotomy has evolved from a procedure limited to developmental dysplasia of the hip into a versatile joint-preserving surgery for a wide range of acetabular pathomorphologies. Large-scale studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in improving pain, function and quality of life, with long-term survival rates approaching 68% at 20 years, though modern refinements likely yield even better results. Apart from a precise technical execution, its success depends on patient selection: while patients over 40 years old were once considered contraindications, recent evidence shows that outcomes are more closely tied to the absence of preexisting arthritis than to age. Indications have expanded to acetabular retroversion and borderline dysplasia and advances in imaging and technique, such as limited soft-tissue dissection and refined pubic cuts, have improved safety and recovery. Furthermore, technical innovations like augmented reality promise to further enhance surgical precision in the future.
