Obesity is associated with less favorable outcomes following hip arthroscopic surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
purposeThe aim of this study was to systematically review the existing literature comparing the postoperative outcomes after following hip arthroscopy in obese and non-obese patients.
methodsStudies comparing the outcomes following hip arthroscopy of obese and non-obese patients were systematically identified via a computer-assisted literature search of Pubmed (Medline), EMBASE, and Cochrane Library using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies comparing the outcome of hip arthroscopy in different body mass index (BMI) groups were included. Data including patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), revision arthroscopy rate, conversion rate to total hip arthroplasty (THA), and complications were collected. The methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS) and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) were used to assess the quality of each study quality. The effect of heterogeneity was quantified by calculating the I
resultsA total of eight studies were finally included in the qualitative analysis, and three studies of high quality involving 373 hips were included in the quantitative assessment. All the studies defined obesity as a BMI of ≥ 30 kg/m
conclusionObese patients had significantly lower PROMs than non-obese patients following hip arthroscopic surgery, and the THA conversion and complication rates were 2.4 times and 3.2 times higher, respectively. Understanding the effect of obesity on hip arthroscopy will allow appropriate surgical indications for surgery to be further refined and help obese patients to understand their individual risk profile. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Systematic review of Level III-IV studies, Level IV.
