Functional gait outcomes following derotation osteotomy for transverse plane malalignment in unilateral cerebral palsy.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Transverse plane malalignment is a deformity often encountered in patients with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and derotational osteotomy (DO) represents the gold standard for correction of this condition. Reports specifically on unilaterally involved individuals are limited and it remains unclear whether DO is capable to additionally improve hip abductor lever arm dysfunction. 20 individuals with unilateral CP matched the inclusion criteria. Pre- and postoperative (short-term after unilateral DO) 3D-instrumented gait analyses (IGA) were compared and assessed for changes in transverse plane kinematics. Pelvic/trunk kinematics as well as coronal hip kinetics were included. Most remarkable findings were an improved/reduced, yet not physiological, pelvic retraction, significantly improved internal rotation of the hip and significantly improved foot progression. Trunk obliquity worsened postoperatively in the GMFCS level I subgroup. DO effectively improves internal hip rotation and foot progression. There were no relevant changes evident concerning trunk lean, indicating that DO does not relevantly improve hip abductor lever arm dysfunction in unilateral CP at short-term.
