Increased complications of periacetabular osteotomy in the obese patient is not a contraindication.

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
Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is performed to relieve symptomatic acetabular dysplasia by reorienting the acetabulum to provide adequate femoral head coverage. Due to an increased risk for complications in obese patients, some surgeons consider obesity as a contraindication for surgery. We theorize obese patients will have similar reductions in their pain levels and improvement in radiographic parameters despite an increased risk for postoperative complications. We performed a retrospective review of all patients who underwent a PAO in the last 12 years by the principal investigator. The incidence of complications, change in visual analogue scale (VAS) scores at 6 months follow up, and change in lateral centre edge angles (LCEAs) were then compared between obese patients and non-obese patient cohorts. Forty-eight hips in 41 patients were analysed. Fifteen hips were of obese patients at time of operation and 33 hips were of non-obese patients. The number of complications in the obesity group was statistically significant with a
