1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe purpose of this study is to identify and summarize the current utility of intraoperative ultrasound (US) during hip arthroscopy.

methodsA systematic database query of the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, PubMed (1980 to 2019), and Ovid MEDLINE (1980 to 2019) was performed. After article identification, descriptions of the surgical procedure, use of intraoperative US, procedural complications, and conclusions from each article were recorded and summarized.

resultsFive studies met inclusion criteria, all of which were surgical techniques or technical notes. Four of the 5 studies described US used for placement of arthroscopic portals, and 1 described the use of an intraarticular US catheter for the assessment of an osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesion. Of the 4 studies using US for portal placement, 3 were performed supine and 1 was performed in the lateral decubitus position. All studies recognized the need for additional US training or the required assistance of a radiologist to incorporate US into a surgical practice.

conclusionDescriptions of intraoperative US during hip arthroscopy are limited in the literature. However, existing technique reports demonstrate the feasibility of US for both portal placement with superficial probes and limited evaluation of cartilage using intraarticular US catheters. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V, systematic review.
