A Prospective 2-Year Clinical Evaluation of Augmented Hip Abductor Tendon Repair.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHip abductor tendon (HAT) tearing is commonly implicated in greater trochanteric pain syndrome. Studies reporting surgical outcomes are often on small cohorts and with limited information on functional improvement. PURPOSE: To report the 2-year clinical and functional outcomes in a series of patients undergoing HAT repair augmented with a ligament augmentation and reconstruction system (LARS) ligament. STUDY
designCase series; Level of evidence, 4.
methodsBetween October 2012 and December 2016, a total of 142 patients with symptomatic HAT tears underwent open bursectomy, V-Y lengthening, and reattachment of the tendon with suture anchors augmented with a LARS ligament. This included 132 women (93%) with a mean age of 64.3 years (range, 43-84 years), a mean body mass index of 28.2 kg/m
resultsA significant improvement (
conclusionHAT repair augmented with a synthetic ligament demonstrated significantly improved clinical and functional outcomes, high levels of patient satisfaction, and a relatively low failure rate up to 24 months postsurgery.
