Arthroscopic partial capsulotomy for exposure and treatment of hip disease.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hip arthroscopy is an effective method for the diagnosis and treatment of hip joint pathologies. However, gaining access to the central and peripheral compartments is challenging. The present study aimed to assess the advantages of using an arthroscopic extra-capsular approach and partial capsulotomy for access and subsequent management of hip diseases. Patients subjected to hip arthroscopy by partial capsulotomy for exposure and treatment of hip diseases between February 2012 and February 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 32 patients, including 19 males and 13 females, aged 19-48 years (median age, 36 years), had undergone the procedure. Firstly, the distal anterior lateral and anterolateral arthroscopic approach with blunt dissection was performed. Subsequently, a T-shaped partial capsulotomy was established to achieve adequate exposure. The shaver, radiofrequency probe and tissue penetrating suture grasper were then inserted to perform procedures including debridement of the synovium, suturing of the glenoid labrum. During surgery, a probe hook was used to push the capsule section limbs or pull the sutures placed on the capsule section limbs to improve exposure. For patients with pre-operative anterior instability, ligamentous laxity or acetabular dysplasia capsules were sutured to finish capsule closure. The pre-operative and post-operative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and modified Harris hip score (MHHS) were used to assess the effectiveness of the procedure. No obvious post-operative complications were encountered. The mean follow-up time was 22.4 months (range, 18-32 months) and 31 patients completed the follow-up, while 1 patient was lost to follow-up. Compared with the pre-operative score, the MHHS was significantly increased (66.2±6.0 vs. 82.6±5.2; P<0.05) and the VAS score was significantly decreased (6.5±1.1 vs. 1.2±0.7; P<0.05) at the end of the follow-up. In conclusion, arthroscopic partial capsulotomy provides access to the peripheral and central compartments of the hip and is a relatively simple technique that is easy to master for surgeons with limited experience in hip surgery.
