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 aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients treated arthroscopically for symptomatic borderline dysplasia of the hip (BHD) with a T-shaped capsular plication, with a minimum follow-up of 24 months.

methodsTwenty-seven patients who had undergone hip arthroscopy and T-shaped capsular plication for symptomatic BHD were included in the study. All patients were clinically evaluated prior to surgery (T

resultsWe found a significant difference for HOS-ADL, HOS-SSS, VAS and WOMAC with the Friedman test for repeated measures through time points (p < 0.0001), but not for MCS. All clinical scores reported a significant improvement compared to the previous time point (p < 0.05), with the exception of HOS-SSS, for which p = 0.2570 between T

conclusionsThe results of the current study confirm that patients with intra-articular hip pathology and concomitant BHD (LCEA 20°-25°) can benefit from arthroscopic treatment and that T-shaped capsular plication is one of the available options. Orthopaedic surgeons specialising in hip arthroscopy should consider arthroscopy for the treatment of symptomatic BHD for stabilising and strengthening the joint. Future studies should focus on finding out which type of patients can benefit most from this procedure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: Prospective Case Series.
