Hip Arthroscopy With Initial Access to the Peripheral Compartment: A Detailed Step-by-Step Technique Description.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Hip arthroscopy with initial access to the peripheral compartment represents a specific technique to approach the hip that can be particularly useful. This technique is suitable for both the arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and other pathologies that can be addressed by classic arthroscopy with central compartment initial access. Minimal capsulotomies preserve the fluid pressure in the peripheral compartment, which allows the "ballooning" of the capsule and improved joint exposure with decreased risk of fluid extravasation. In the vast majority of cases, the hip joint can be accessed by any technique depending on the surgeon preference/expertise. Interestingly, access to the central compartment under direct arthroscopic visualization decreases the risk of iatrogenic labral and chondral damage. This is particularly important when access to the central compartment is technically challenging (e.g., acetabular overcoverage, labral hypertrophy, and limited joint distraction). Such a technique is also preferable if the pathology is mainly located in the peripheral compartment. Despite several advantages, hip arthroscopy with initial access to the peripheral compartment is not a commonly performed technique. Our purpose is to perform a step-by-step explanation of a previously described technique.
