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

purpose of reviewHeterotopic ossification (HO) in hip arthroscopy is a common post-operative complication. This review was undertaken to provide an update (2014 present) on the current literature regarding HO in hip arthroscopy. RECENT

findingsRisk factors for HO post-hip arthroscopy include male gender, mixed impingement, picture, and the size of CAM resection. HO prophylaxis with NSAIDs has been proven to decrease the rate of HO post-hip arthroscopy; however, there is inherent risk to long-standing NSAIDs therapy. HO post-hip arthroscopy is not uncommon as a radiological finding, but symptomatic HO post-hip arthroscopy requiring revision surgery is a rare event, at < 1%. The outcomes for revision surgery for HO excision have fair outcomes. The hip arthroscopist should stratify their patients based on known risk factors, and determine whether NSAIDs prophylaxis is warranted.
