Improving function in people with hip-related pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis of physiotherapist-led interventions for hip-related pain.
Synthesis in British journal of sports medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06819384 (Effects of Movement Pattern Training Versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Training on Pain Range of Motion Flexibility and Kick Distance in Footballers With Groin Pain), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo report the effectiveness of physiotherapist-led interventions in improving pain and function in young and middle-aged adults with hip-related pain.
designSystematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES: A comprehensive, reproducible search strategy was performed on five databases in May 2019. Reference lists and grey literature were also searched. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SELECTING STUDIES: Population: people aged ≥18 years with hip-related pain (with or without a diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome). INTERVENTION(S): physiotherapist-led interventions for hip pain. Comparators: sham treatment, no treatment or other treatment (eg, hip arthroscopic surgery). OUTCOMES: primary outcomes included patient-reported hip pain and function. Secondary outcomes included physical function measures.
results1722 papers were identified. After exclusion criteria were applied, 14 studies were included for analysis. They had varied risk of bias. There were no full-scale placebo-controlled randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of physiotherapist-led treatment. Pooled effects ranged from moderate effects (0.67 (95% CI 0.07 to 1.26)) favouring physiotherapist-led intervention over no treatment post-arthroscopy, to weak effects (-0.32 (95% CI 0.57 to 0.07)) favouring hip arthroscopy over physiotherapist-led treatment.
conclusionPhysiotherapist-led interventions might improve pain and function in young and middle-aged adults with hip-related pain, however full-scale high-quality RCT studies are required. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42018089088.
