Incidence and location of heterotopic ossification following hip arthroscopy.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundWe investigated the incidence and location of heterotopic ossification (HO) following hip arthroscopy.
methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 327 patients who underwent hip arthroscopy from January 2010 to December 2015. From this cohort, we extracted an HO group with simple radiographs or three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT). Findings consistent with HO were classified according to the Brooker classification aided with 3D CT for the location of HO. The indication for revision arthroscopic excision of HO was painful, functional impairment of the hip. Patient clinical outcomes were assessed pre- and postoperatively, with modified Harris Hip Scores (mHHS), a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, and the Hip Outcome Score-Activity of Daily Living (HOS-ADL) and Sport Specific Subscales (HOS-SSS).
resultsIn all, 14 (4.28%) of the 327 patients had confirmed HO radiographically. The mean follow-up was 39 months. In 13 patients, HO formed in the central area of the arthroscopic portals or capsulotomy. Ten patients had Brooker Grade 1 and four had Grade 2. At the last follow-up, 12 asymptomatic patients had significant (P < 0.001) improvements in all clinical outcome scores (mHHS, pain VAS, HOS-ADL, and HOS-SSS). Two patients developed symptoms sufficient to require revision hip arthroscopy for HO excision. After revision hip arthroscopy, both symptomatic patients had improved significantly in all clinical outcomes at the final follow-up.
conclusionsHO is a minor complication of hip arthroscopy, but sometimes induces severe pain and functional impairment. Usually, HO forms in the arthroscopic portal or capsulotomy area.
