Lateral acetabular coverage as a predictor of femoroacetabular cartilage thickness.

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
To investigate the correlation between femoroacetabular cartilage thickness and lateral acetabular coverage in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for a variety of indications. Articular cartilage at the hip is hypothesized to undergo adaptive change secondary to unique patterns of pathomechanical loading which results in a direct relationship between acetabular coverage and femoroacetabular cartilage thickness. A cohort of 252 patients presenting to our dedicated hip preservation service between June 2013 and June 2015 were retrospectively analysed. Preoperative radiographs and MRI studies were obtained for all symptomatic hips and classified according to radiographic lateral center edge angle (LCEA) as follows: normal acetabular coverage (25-40°), acetabular overcoverage (≥40°), borderline dysplasia (20-24.9°) and frank dysplasia (<20°). Femoroacetabular cartilage thickness was measured on a preoperative MRI-scan at the fovea, middle sourcil, and lateral sourcil. In all groups, cartilage thickness was maximized at the lateral sourcil relative to the middle sourcil or fovea (
