Posterior Hip Impingement at Maximal Hip Extension in Female Patients With Increased Femoral Version or Increased McKibbin Index and Its Effect on Sports Performance.
Article in Orthopaedic journal of sports medicine, 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
Background: The location of posterior hip impingement at maximal extension in patients with posterior femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is unclear. Purpose: To investigate the frequency and area of impingement at maximal hip extension and at 10° and 20° of extension in female patients with increased femoral version (FV) and posterior hip pain. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Osseous patient-specific 3-dimensional (3D) models were generated of 50 hips (37 female patients, 3D computed tomography) with a positive posterior impingement test and increased FV (defined as >35°). The McKibbin index (combined version) was calculated as the sum of FV and acetabular version (AV). Subgroups of patients with an increased McKibbin index >70° (24 hips) and FV >50° (20 hips) were analyzed. A control group of female participants (10 hips) had normal FV, normal AV, and no valgus deformity (neck-shaft angle, <139°). Validated 3D collision detection software was used for simulation of osseous impingement-free hip extension (no rotation). Results: The mean impingement-free maximal hip extension was significantly lower in patients with FV >35° compared with the control group (15° ± 15° vs 55° ± 19°; Conclusion: The limited hip extension found in our study could theoretically affect the performance of sports activities such as running, ballet dancing, or lunges. Therefore, although not examined directly in this study, these activities are not advisable for these patients. Preoperative evaluation of FV and the McKibbin index is important in female patients with posterior hip pain before hip preservation surgery (eg, hip arthroscopy).
