The narrow subspine space and relatively large labrum are radiographic features of subspine impingement: a case-control study.

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
backgroundSubspine impingement is considered a source of residual hip symptoms after primary hip arthroscopy, and the role of the subspine space and soft tissue is not clear. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the subspine space and labrum size in subspine impingement patients.
methodsWe performed a retrospective study of patients with femoroacetabular impingement between July 2016 and July 2020. Sixteen patients without hip symptom relief after primary hip arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement and undergoing revision surgery for anterior inferior iliac spine compression were included as the study group. Forty-eight matched patients who underwent only primary surgery and whose hip discomfort was relieved without a diagnosis of subspine impingement were included as the control group. The patients' preoperative computerized tomography data were reviewed, and the anterior inferior iliac spine dimensions and the size of the subspine space were measured. The size of the labrum at the 11:30, 1:30, and 3 o'clock positions was measured with the use of magnetic resonance imaging. The ratio of the subspine space to the labrum was also calculated.
resultsThere was no significant difference in anterior inferior iliac spine dimensions between these two groups (p > 0.05). A relatively narrow subspine space was found in the study group, especially in the direction of the anterior inferior iliac spine. Compared with the control group, subspine impingement patients were identified with larger labrums at 11:30 (8.20 ± 1.95 mm vs. 6.81 ± 0.50 mm, p = 0.016), 1:30 (7.83 ± 1.61 mm and 6.25 ± 0.78 mm, p = 0.001) and 3:00 (9.50 ± 1.73 mm vs. 7.48 ± 0.99 mm, p = 0.001). A relative mismatch between the subspine space and the labrum was also identified in the study group. The ratios of the labrum width to the subspine area were significantly larger in the study group than in the control group.
conclusionThis study reported potential additional criteria for subspine impingement-a large labrum and a relatively narrow subspine space-instead of abnormal anterior inferior iliac spine dimensions. For those with a large labrum and narrow subspine space, the diagnosis of subspine impingement should be carefully made, and arthroscopic anterior inferior iliac spine decompression may be important.
