Forget the Greater Trochanter! Hip Joint Access With the 12 O'clock Portal in Hip Arthroscopy.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
Most surgeons rely on the greater trochanter as the reference point to establish the anterolateral portal. Nevertheless, we believe that the anterosuperior iliac spine is a more reliable landmark. Unlike the greater trochanter, it is unaffected by leg rotation and is more easily identified by palpation. Abiding by the central tenet of medicine to "do no harm," the technique described herein presents in detail the concept of the 12 o'clock portal placement, a hip joint access method based on identifying specific anatomic points under fluoroscopy and by palpation. To accomplish this goal, this Technical Note presents a step-by-step approach, including tips and pearls for patient positioning and fluoroscopic guidance. We believe this method ensures a reproducible and safe way to start hip arthroscopy in the supine position.
