Evaluation of primary hip arthroscopy complications in mid-term follow-up: a multicentric prospective study.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionHip arthroscopy is a common procedure in hip preservation surgery. Its complication rate is relatively low. This prospective multicentric study evaluates complication rate in patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study cohort consisted of 908 patients mean age of 37 years (14-67 years). Patients were prospectively included in the study in the years 2009-2017. All complications were recorded and evaluated. The minimum follow-up was 36 months. Results were statistically evaluated and risk factors for complications were identified.
resultsThe overall complication rate was 7.3% (67/908 cases), the minor complication rate of 4.9% (45/908 cases) and the major complication rate 2.4% (22/908 cases). The most common severe complications were iatrogenic cartilage damage and instrument breakage, while the most common minor complications were perineal hypoaesthesia and heterotopic ossifications. The conversion rate to total hip replacement was 4.2% (39/908 patients).
conclusionHip arthroscopy is a safe procedure with low complication rates. Surgeon training and experience greatly influence the complication rates.
