Article in Operative Orthopadie und Traumatologie, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesTreatment of pathologies of the central and peripheral compartment of the hip using arthroscopic assisted mini-open arthrotomy via the Smith-Petersen approach. INDICATIONS: Cam- and pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tear, loose bodies. (RELATIVE) CONTRAINDICATIONS: Osteoarthritis of the hip with Tönnis classification grade ≥ 2. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: After mini-open approach to the hip joint via direct anterior muscular gap, the anterior capsule is split with protection of the labrum. Decompression allows the joint to be inspected using an arthroscope. Depending on the intra-articular findings, additional procedures can be performed (e.g., curettage of the cartilage, microfracturing, matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation [MACI]). Cases with pincer-type FAI or labral tear can also be addressed. After partial release, the cam-type FAI can be resected using a surgical burr. POSTOPERATIVE MANAGEMENT: Partial weightbearing for 2-6 weeks with 10-20 kg or half body weight using crutches depending on the intraoperative treatment.
resultsRadiological analysis of the pre- and postoperative X‑rays (n = 69) prove that this surgical technique is suitable to address pathologies especially FAI syndromes. The α‑angle according to Nötzli could be reduced from a mean preoperative value of 72.8° to 49.4° postoperative. In combined cam-type and Pincer-type FAI syndrome (n = 16), the lateral center-edge angle could be reduced from a mean preoperative value of 50.2° to 37.6° postoperatively. The clinical follow-up (n = 29) revealed good midterm outcomes after arthroscopic assisted mini-open arthrotomy (modified Harris Hip Score [mHHS] 84.8 points after 4.9 years [range 4.2-5.7; ±0.43]).
