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
BACKGROUND Dega acetabuloplasty is commonly used to correct acetabular deficiency in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and cerebral palsy (CP). This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes following Dega acetabuloplasty in 11 children with DDH and 13 children with CP. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 32 hips in 24 patients (8 males, 16 females; mean age, 61.35±41.09 months) who underwent Dega acetabuloplasty by a single surgeon between September 2015 and May 2019. The cohort included 11 patients with DDH (14 hips) and 13 patients with CP (18 hips). Radiographic outcomes were evaluated using the acetabular index in DDH hips and the migration index in CP hips at preoperative, postoperative, and final follow-up assessments. RESULTS The mean follow-up duration was 28.1 months for DDH hips and 13.8 months for CP hips. Proximal femoral osteotomy was added in selected cases. In the DDH group, the mean acetabular index decreased from 34.9°±4.8° preoperatively to 19.5°±4.3° postoperatively and 16°±6° at final follow-up (P<0.001). In the CP group, the mean migration index decreased from 85.3%±17.8% preoperatively to 8.1%±8.3% postoperatively and 17.8%±24.2% at final follow-up (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Early-to-midterm results suggest that Dega acetabuloplasty appears to be a safe and effective method for improving radiographic parameters in hip dislocations in patients with DDH and CP.
