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

backgroundSurgical treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is nowadays achieved by either open surgical hip dislocation or hip arthroscopy. However, drawbacks of both procedures include the invasiveness of the open procedure and a high learning curve to successfully perform arthroscopic treatment. In our institution, we established a minimally invasive, arthroscopically assisted, antero-lateral approach for the correction of cam type FAI.

objectivesThe goal of the study was to describe the surgical technique and highlight the short-term clinical outcome in a consecutive series of patients operated between 2011 and 2014 in our institution. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn total, 77 patients were included in this study. The patients were allocated to two groups (Toennis = 0: Group I; Toennis 1 and 2: Group II). Clinical and radiographic follow up was obtained at 6 and 12 weeks postoperatively. Clinical outcome was assessed using the Hip-Outcome-Score.

resultsThe mean age of patients in Group I was 25 (16-48) years and in Group II 38 (17-50) years respectively. Internal rotation (IR) in 90° flexion increased by 11 degrees from pre- to postoperatively in Group I (p < 0.001) and by 14° in Group II (p < 0.001). The Hip Outcome Score revealed the ability to perform sports with reduced pain at three months follow up. Subjectively, all patients benefitted in terms of pain and hip function in both groups (p < 0.001). There were no complications with long-term morbidity during the perioperative course.

conclusionArthroscopically assisted cam resection using a minimally invasive anterolateral approach is a safe technique for the treatment of FAI. At short term follow up, nearly all operated patients seem to benefit in terms of pain and hip function. The influence of progression of osteoarthritis still has to be shown.
