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
introductionWe aimed to establish age-related characteristics of posture-dependent pelvic tilt and standing spinopelvic alignment in patients with symptomatic hip dysplasia (HD) from adolescence to middle age. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 101 patients with HD indicated for eccentric rotational acetabular osteotomy (ERAO) between 2016 and 2024 were included. Pelvic tilt in supine and standing positions was quantified using the anterior pelvic plane (APP) angle estimated from computed tomography-based 3D pelvic models matched to supine and standing anteroposterior hip radiographs. The change from supine to standing was calculated as standing minus supine; negative values indicated a posterior change. Three-dimensional acetabular coverage during postural transition was compared across age groups. Standing radiographic hip and spinopelvic parameters were also examined using multivariable regression analysis to identify factors associated with age.
resultsAge was correlated with the supine-to-standing change in the APP angle (r = 0.47, p < 0.001). The change shifted closer to zero with increasing age, with younger patients showing a larger posterior change compared with older patients. Patients in their teens showed a more pronounced decrease in anterosuperior acetabular coverage at the 2 o'clock position compared with those in their 40 s (p = 0.017) and 50 s (p = 0.040). Furthermore, anterior wall index in standing (β = 0.26, p = 0.007), sagittal vertical axis (β = 0.24, p = 0.015), and sacral slope (β = 0.24, p = 0.014) were identified as independent factors associated with age.
conclusionsYounger patients with HD showed a larger posterior change in pelvic tilt during postural transition compared with middle-aged patients. These findings support preoperative assessment of functional acetabular coverage in the standing position, particularly in the anterosuperior region in younger patients, when planning ERAO. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether maintaining anterior pelvic tilt during standing contributes to preservation of joint integrity into middle adulthood.
