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
Aims: There is a paucity in the literature regarding functional outcomes of revision periacetabular osteotomy (R-PAO) after failure of previous redirectional pelvic osteotomy in a mature skeleton. This study aimed to compare the surgical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) between R-PAO and primary PAO. Methods: Patients undergoing R-PAO (n = 13) and primary PAO (n = 39) were matched in a 1:3 ratio for age, sex, and surgical date with a minimum follow-up of one year. PROM assessment included scores for pain, joint function (Modified Harris Hip Score -mHHS; International Hip outcome tool-12 -iHOT12), and activity level (University of California Los Angeles activity scale -UCLA). Postoperative outcomes were compared between the groups using independent-samples Results: Patients undergoing R-PAO had significantly worse preoperative joint function (mHHS 34.91 to 57.28, p < 0.001; iHot-12 33.17 to 46.22, p = 0.005) and activity level (UCLA 4.38 to 6.34, p = 0.004) compared to primary PAO. While achieving similar functional improvement (Δpre - post, p > 0.05) comparing both groups, postoperative mHHS (70.21 to 86.81, p = 0.002) and pain score (3.46 to 1.92, p = 0.010) remained significantly worse after R-PAO. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that preserved preoperative joint function (iHot-12 ß = 0.795, p < 0.001; mHHS ß = 0.696, p < 0.001) and activity level (UCLA ß = 0.360, p < 0.001), a lower BMI (iHot-12 ß = -2.011, p = 0.002; UCLA ß = -0.120, p = 0.041), and a sufficient postoperative anterior wall coverage (iHot-12 ß = 0.849, p < 0.001) are predictors of improved postoperative outcomes in both R-PAO and primary PAO. Conclusion: The failure of hip-preserving pelvic osteotomies in skeletally mature patients results in a substantial symptom burden and functional impairment. R-PAO represents a considerable treatment strategy that preserves the native hip joint and function, but postoperative outcomes after R-PAO remain inferior to those of primary PAO, due to the worse preoperative joint function.
