1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), a recently proposed mechanical concept regarding the development of osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip, is gaining increased acceptance. Both osseous deformity and use of the hip may result in hip damage. Osseous deformities are seen on the acetabular (pincer) or the femoral (cam) side of the hip, leading to characteristic alterations of the acetabular rim. Cam FAI is found in 20-30-year-old athletic men, revealing deep cartilage avulsions from the acetabular rim while the labrum is frequently intact. In pincer FAI, found in 30-40-year-old women, the labrum is frequently significantly destroyed with only minor damage to the acetabular rim. Professional or athletic impact activities can trigger even mild FAI deformities to become symptomatic. For some FAI deformities, the etiologies are known, but for most of them the exact causes are unknown. An improved understanding of the etiology of FAI and its role in the development of hip OA might lead to a reduction in the prevalence of so-called primary OA of the hip.
