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.

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
introductionResidual pelvic obliquity (PO) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) for dysplastic hip osteoarthritis (DHOA) may adversely affect coronal balance and postoperative outcomes. Although lumbar bending range (LBR) is considered critical for PO improvement, the clinical cutoff value for predicting residual PO remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the cutoff value of LBR associated with residual PO after THA. MATERIALS AND
methodsAmong 382 patients who underwent primary THA for unilateral DHOA between July 2019 and June 2024, 98 patients with preoperative downward PO of ≥ 2° on the affected side were included. Patients were classified into a residual group (postoperative PO ≥ 2° at 1 year) and an improvement group (postoperative PO < 2°). Demographic data and radiographic parameters of the hip, lower limbs, and spine were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with residual PO, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to determine the optimal LBR cutoff value.
resultsResidual PO was observed in 28 patients (29%). Compared with the improvement group, the residual group demonstrated significantly greater Crowe index values, preoperative radiographic leg length discrepancy, and preoperative PO. Affected-side LBR was significantly smaller in the residual group (4.3° ± 3.0° vs. 7.7° ± 4.0°, P < 0.001), whereas the unaffected-side LBR exhibited no significant difference. Multivariate analysis identified affected-side LBR as the only independent factor associated with residual PO (odds ratio, 0.698; 95% confidence interval, 0.580-0.840; P < 0.001). ROC analysis demonstrated an optimal affected-side LBR cutoff value of 4.5° (area under the curve, 0.783).
conclusionsReduced affected-side LBR was strongly associated with residual PO following THA in patients with DHOA presenting with downward PO. An affected-side LBR cutoff value of 4.5° is helpful in predicting residual PO and assist in coronal compensatory capacity before THA.
