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

Arthroscopic release of the iliopsoas tendon for iliopsoas impingement (IPI) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) at the lesser trochanter gives good results. However, where IPI then recurs, due to adhesions between the healing iliopsoas tendon and the surrounding soft tissue, and nonoperative measures have failed, a revision THA procedure is usually considered. We propose a technique of arthroscopic visualization of the recurrent IPI and a subsequent psoas tenotomy at the level of the hip joint using an outside-in capsulotomy approach. This secondary tenotomy, located proximally directly at the level of the recurrent impingement, allows relief of the painful symptoms without compromising the muscle function of the iliopsoas and precludes the need for a complex THA revision.
