Direct anterior approach for femoral osteotomy: a new surgical technique.
Article in Journal of hip preservation surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Femoral osteotomy is an effective surgical intervention for correcting torsional deformities that contribute to hip instability and femoroacetabular impingement. However, traditional osteotomy techniques require extensive soft tissue dissection, disrupt the femoral canal, and complicate future total hip arthroplasty. Additionally, traditional approaches frequently involve multiple incisions when combined with other procedures, prolonging recovery and increasing morbidity. The direct anterior approach (DAA) offers a minimally invasive alternative that preserves the femoral anatomy while enabling simultaneous intra-articular interventions. This technique provides access to the femoral neck for varisation, valgisation, and rotational osteotomies while preserving critical vascular structures. Moreover, the DAA facilitates concurrent hip arthroscopy, periacetabular osteotomy, and cartilage restoration procedures. We describe the DAA for femoral neck osteotomy to correct torsional deformities and discuss its potential benefits in optimizing surgical outcomes.
