Slipped capital femoral epiphysis: pathomechanism, clinical presentation, diagnosis, natural history and treatment. A review of the literature.
Review in Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2026. 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
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) occurs in preadolescent and adolescent children. The exact pathomechanism of the slip is not known. Several risk factors have been identified including hormonal derangement. Of the classification systems, stability and severity classification systems are most relevant to everyday practice. There is a strong agreement regarding the management of a mild slip. Controversies exist in the treatment of moderate and severe slips and also regarding the prophylactic pinning of the opposite side. Discrepancies exist amongst countries and surgeons as to the number of screws to be used for pinning. Increasing evidence of femoroacetabular impingement as a cause of osteoarthritis of the hip may change the treatment of moderate and severe slips in the future. The modified Dunn procedure may become a standard procedure in the future to treat moderate and severe slips; however, experience and accurate knowledge of surgical anatomy is required for good outcomes following this procedure.
