Partial ligamentum teres tears are associated with larger acetabular labra and less damage to the labrum than complete ligamentum teres tears.

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
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between ligamentum teres (LT) tears with hypertrophy of the acetabular labrum and cartilage and labral damage. Surgeries (1723) were performed from February 2010 to March 2016 with arthroscopic measurement of the labrum and assessment of the LT, labrum and acetabular cartilage. Labral width was measured in the anterosuperior (AS), anteroinferior (AI), posteroinferior (PI) and posterosuperior (PS) quadrants. Grade 2 (50-99% torn) LT tears had larger labra in all four quadrants (AS = 5.64 ± 1.97 mm; AI = 5.23 ± 1.51; PS = 5.58 ± 1.39; PI = 4.60 ± 1.13) than grade 3 (100% torn) (AS = 5.50 ± 1.94; AI 4.90 ± 1.43; PS 5.43 ± 1.32; PI 4.42 ± 1.03), grade 1 (<50% torn) (AS 5.30 ± 1.68; AI 4.96 ± 1.32; PS = 5.38 ± 1.13; PI = 4.45 ± 1.04) and no tear (AS = 5.09 ± 1.51; AI = 4.92 ± 1.24; PS = 5.24 ± 1.09; PI = 4.37 ± .93);
