Hip arthroscopy complications regarding surgery and early postoperative care: retrospective study and review of literature.
Synthesis in Musculoskeletal surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
purposeThe purpose is to describe the rate of complications in a series of hip arthroscopies performed at our center, as well as perform a systematic review of the current literature in order to compare our outcomes.
methodsTwo hundred and fifty-eight patients affected of femoroacetabular impingement and treated with hip arthroscopy have been studied. All minor and major complications were studied during the first postsurgery year. Furthermore, a systematic review was performed comparing major and minor complications with our series. Two attending orthopedic surgeons selected the different studies with the same inclusion and exclusion criteria, remaining with 48 studies that have been reviewed and included in the present study.
resultsMean age was 36.6 years old (SD 17.45), and the ratio men:women was 137:121. The mean complication rate observed was 14.34% (37/258) of global complications. Only three patients showed major complications: femoral neck fracture, septic arthritis and avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Any of these patients had permanent side effects.
conclusionsHip arthroscopy has a low rate of major complications, but a higher number of minor complications that could be avoided with certain preventive measures.
