How to address ischiofemoral impingement? Treatment algorithm and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of hip preservation surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 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
Ischiofemoral impingement (IFI) is a rare cause of hip pain defined by a narrowing of the space between the lateral aspect of the os ischium and the lesser trochanter of the femur. Several underlying anatomic, functional and iatrogenic pathologies have been identified for symptomatic IFI in native hip joints and after total hip arthroplasty. Clinical symptoms vary but most commonly consist of pain of the lower buttock and groin including the inner thigh, and a snapping or clunking phenomenon is often reported. Symptoms may be provoked by a combined extension, adduction and external rotation during physical examination and during long-stride walking. Radiographs of the pelvis and an axial or false-profile-view of the hip as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-scans should be obtained to strengthen the diagnosis. On MRI, the quadratus femoris muscle signal and the space confined by the anatomic structures surrounding the muscle, the quadratus femoris space, are to be assessed. Targeted infiltration of the muscle can be helpful both diagnostically and therapeutically. The literature on differential diagnoses and treatment options for IFI is limited; therapeutic suggestions are offered only in case reports and series. With this work, we aim to give a systematic approach to the non-surgical and surgical treatment options for IFI based upon the current literature and the authors' personal experience.
