Achievement of the minimal clinically important difference following open proximal hamstring repair.
Article in Journal of hip preservation surgery, 2021. 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
There is a paucity of literature on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following proximal hamstring repair beyond return to play, patient satisfaction and pain improvement. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) defines the minimum degree of quantifiable improvement that a patient can perceive, but the MCID and predictors of this measure have not been defined for this patient population. This study aimed to define the MCID and determine the efficacy of open proximal hamstring repair through achievement of MCID and identify characteristics predictive of achieving MCID. A retrospective cohort review of an institutional hip registry was conducted, analyzing the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33). MCID was calculated using a distribution-based method. Demographic and clinical variables predictive of achieving MCID were analyzed using univariable and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Thirty-nine patients who underwent open proximal hamstring repair were included. The mean patient age was 48.5 ± 12.4 years, with a mean follow-up of 37.1 ± 28 months. The MCID was determined for each PROM (mHHS-11.8; iHOT-33-12.6). A high percentage of patients achieved MCID for both PROMs (mHHS-85.7%; iHOT-33-91.4%). Univariate logistical regression demonstrated increased age (
