1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: To perform a systematic review to evaluate the incidence of capsulolabral adhesions following hip arthroscopy (HA) for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI); including risk factors and post-treatment outcomes. Methods: Using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we queried PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for English-language studies with minimum 6-month follow-up after primary or revision HA for FAI, which reported the incidence of capsulolabral adhesions. Potential adhesion risk factors, such as anchor type used and protocol for capsule closure, were assessed. Pre-operative and post-operative modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) values were compared in studies that reported them. Results: Thirty-seven articles were included (24 primary HA; 13 revision HA). There were 6747 patients who underwent primary HA (6874 hips; 3005 female, 44%). The incidence of capsulolabral adhesions, confirmed surgically during revision HA, was low. Patients undergoing surgical treatment reported postoperative improvement per modified Harris Hip Scores. Data for 746 patients undergoing second revision HA (761 hips; 449 female, 60%), showed an incidence of adhesions greater than that of primary HA patients. Conclusion: While the incidence of symptomatic capsulolabral adhesions after primary hip arthroscopy is low; revision hip arthroscopy is strongly associated with adhesion development. Lysis of adhesions in primary hip arthroscopy patients reliably improved patient-reported outcomes.
