Femoral neck-shaft angle can predict the anterior capsular thickness in patients with femoracetabular impingement syndrome.
Article in Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo measure the femoral neck-shaft angle (NSA) on computed tomography (CT) images in femoracetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) patients and explore its relationship with the anterior capsular thickness (ACT).
methodsA retrospective review of prospectively collected data from 2022 was performed. Inclusion criteria included: primary hip surgery, 18 to 55 years of age, and CT imaging of the hips. Exclusion criteria included: revision hip surgery, mild or borderline hip dysplasia, hip synovitis, and incomplete radiographs and medical records. NSA was measured on CT imaging. ACT was measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Multiple linear regression was performed to assess the association between ACT and related variables, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), lateral center-edge angle (LCEA), alpha angle, Beighton test score (BTS), and NSA.
resultsA total of 150 patients were included. The mean age, BMI, and NSA were 35.8 ± 11.2 years, 22.8 ± 3.5, and 129.4° ± 7.7°, respectively. Eighty-five (56.7%) patients were females. Multivariable regression analysis revealed that NSA (P = 0.002) and sex (P = 0.001) were significantly negatively correlated with ACT. Age, BMI, LCEA angle, alpha angle, and BTS were not correlated with ACT.
conclusionsThis study confirmed that NSA significantly predicts ACT. A decrease in the NSA by 1° increases the ACT by 0.24 mm. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.
