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
introductionA periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a joint-preserving surgical option for treatment of acetabular dysplasia. The procedure aims to prevent, or at least delay, the development of osteoarthritis, and subsequent need for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The conversion rate to THA differs widely in the literature, but most of the studies have few patients, and the follow-up time is often short for THA as an endpoint. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome after PAO surgery with the rate of conversion to THA as the primary outcome. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients ≥18 years that underwent a PAO operation at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden from 2006 to 2022 were included. Radiological signs of hip osteoarthritis, and the lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) was calculated on pre- and postoperative radiographs or CT-scans. The national Swedish Arthroplasty Register was used to find cases who had a secondary operation with THA.
resultsThe number of cases included was 96. Median age was 30 (18–46) years, and 84% (n = 81) were females. Median follow-up time was 99 (17–227) months (8 years). A total of 21 (22%) cases had a secondary THA. Cox regression analyses identified that age ≥ 30 years and smoking was associated with THA reoperation in both uni- (HR 2.8, CI 1.1–7.3, HR 3.7, CI 1.0–13) and multivariable (HR 4.0, CI 1.1–15, HR 7.8, CI 1.7–37) analyses. Preoperative osteoarthritis (Tönnis grade 2) was weakly associated with THA in multivariable (HR 31, CI 2.6–384) analysis. A total of 10 (10%) cases had an unexpected reoperation due to other reasons than a secondary THA, and the most common reason was nonunion (n = 6, 6.3%). Forty-four (43%) patients had an adverse event. The most common was a transient nerve injury.
conclusionsThe PAO procedure is a suitable option in young patients with symptomatic dysplasia of the hip in order to avoid, or at least delay, hip arthroplasty.
