The role and clinical relevance of the ligamentum teres: long-term outcomes after hip arthroscopic surgery of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement.
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 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
We aimed to compare clinical and radiologic outcomes in patients with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), with and without a partial ligamentum teres (LT) tear, who underwent hip arthroscopy (HA) with ≥10 years of follow-up. Among the patients who underwent HA for a cam-type FAI diagnosis with a labral tear, 28 patients (28 hips) with a partial LT tear and 87 patients (99 hips) with an intact LT were assigned to Groups A and B, respectively. All patients underwent partial labral debridement and femoroplasty. Debridement and thermal shrinkage were performed for LT tears. The grade of chondral damage was measured intraoperatively. Clinical items were assessed preoperatively and at the last follow-up. Patients' satisfaction with the surgery and changes in postoperative sports ability in those who had previously been active in sports were assessed at the last follow-up. The Tönnis grade was assessed preoperatively and at the last follow-up for radiologic evaluation. Chondral damage to the acetabular and femoral head detected intraoperatively was significantly different between the groups (
