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
backgroundFemoral version deformities are key in the diagnostic evaluation of young patients with hip pain. While computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are commonly used for femoral version assessment, their limitations include a lack of standardized reference values, high costs, and accessibility constraints. An accessible and reproducible alternative is needed, particularly in the context of joint-preserving hip surgery. PURPOSE: To evaluate the reliability and reproducibility of femoral version measurements on the modified Budin view, to compare these measurements with 4 established cross-sectional imaging methods (CT or MRI), and to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the modified Budin view in identifying abnormal femoral version. STUDY
designCase series; Level of evidence, 4.
methodsThe authors retrospectively analyzed the records of 93 patients (107 hips; mean age, 31 ± 9 years [range, 16-55 years]; 43 female hips [40%]) evaluated for joint-preserving hip surgery at a specialized tertiary center. Femoral version was measured using the modified Budin view and compared to 4 cross-sectional imaging methods (CT and MRI) using Bland-Altman analysis and diagnostic accuracy metrics.
resultsThe mean femoral version measured on the modified Budin view was 13°± 7° (95% CI, 12°-14°). The technique demonstrated excellent intra- and interobserver reliability (ICC, 0.99 and 0.98, respectively). Compared to the Reikerås method, the mean difference was 1°± 4° (95% CI, 0°-2°;
conclusionThe modified Budin view is a highly reliable and accessible radiographic method for femoral version measurement in young patients undergoing joint-preserving hip surgery. It closely reflects the femoral neck version as measured by the Reikerås method, and demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy for detecting abnormal femoral version, making it a valuable screening tool for femoral version deformities in clinical practice.
