Return to Sport After Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome: a Comprehensive Review of Qualitative Considerations.
Review in Current reviews in musculoskeletal medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purpose of reviewArthroscopic hip surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome has evolved over time and has resulted in significantly improved clinical outcomes. These outcomes can be measured by clinical and radiographic metrics. Return to sport is commonly used as an outcome measure, not only in terms of overall rate but also type of sport, level of competition, and timing of return, as its quantitative definition continues to develop. Qualitative research methods can highlight the patient-derived themes that affect an athlete's individual return to sport pathway, and can augment the existing methods of outcome reporting. We will specifically review the qualitative research that has been performed on evaluating return to sport after arthroscopic hip surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. RECENT
findingsCurrent evidence finds a high overall rate of return to sport at 87-93% after arthroscopic hip surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. The available qualitative research in this body of literature, which is limited, has found three main overarching themes behind athletes' decision and ability, or inability, to return to sport: self-efficacy, social support, and resetting expectations. Athletes experience high rates of return to sport and athletic performance after arthroscopic hip surgery for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome. This review highlights the qualitative considerations for these athletes in their overall readiness to return to sport, and its utility for treating physicians as we interact with these athletes both pre- and post-operatively. Further research is required to elucidate any further overarching themes that may be prevalent in different levels of competition.
