Hip Capsular Closure in Distraction: A Technique to Allow Easier Closure of T and Interportal Capsulotomies.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 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
Capsule closure during hip arthroscopy is increasingly being shown to optimize outcomes and minimize complications. Although various techniques and suture configurations have been described, closure of the hip capsule remains a technically challenging step for many hip arthroscopists. The purpose of this Technical Note is to summarize capsular management in arthroscopic hip-preservation surgery and to outline a technique of passing capsule sutures under hip traction. This technique is useful, as it facilitates adequate visualization of the vertical limb of the T capsulotomy and interportal capsulotomy, which is difficult when attempted with the hip out of traction and flexed. Our technique also helps to reduce the risk of iatrogenic cartilage injury during suture passage by increasing the distance between the femoral head and capsule leaflets, or the functional working area for capsule closure.
