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
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and potential benefits of using customized abduction orthoses in the postoperative management of patients with cerebral palsy undergoing derotational osteotomy of the hip. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with 14 patients (26 hips) with cerebral palsy and hip (sub)luxation, operated between 2021 and 2025 in private hospitals using the varus derotational femoral osteotomy technique. The analysis considered synthesis material positioning, achieved angle (Reimers' Index), joint congruence on postoperative radiographs, and clinical outcomes recorded in medical charts after the use of the customized abduction orthosis. Results: Postoperative outcomes were satisfactory, with only 3.8% of hips presenting a new dislocation episode, requiring reoperation, and 7.6% showing superficial wound complications. All medical records reported comfort and practicality with orthosis use for both patients and caregivers. Conclusion: The use of customized abduction orthoses in the postoperative period of varus derotational femoral osteotomy in patients with cerebral palsy showed comparable effectiveness to traditional spica cast immobilization, while providing greater ease of home care and reducing the physical and emotional burden on caregivers.
