Hip Arthroscopy Followed by 6-Month Rehabilitation Leads to Improved Periarticular Muscle Strength, Except for Abductors and External Rotators.

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
Purpose: To evaluate the variations in hip muscles strength following arthroscopy and 6-month rehabilitation in patients treated for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out on a series of patients who were arthroscopically treated for FAI at La Tour Hospital between 2020 and 2022. Bilateral isometric strengths of 8 hip-related muscles (abductors, adductors, hamstrings, quadriceps, extensors, flexors, internal and external rotators) were assessed using a handheld dynamometer before surgery and postoperatively after 6 months of rehabilitation in terms of relative strength changes between time points. Results: A total of 29 patients (aged 26.9 ± 7.1 years, 86% of women) were included. Except for the abductors, which remained of comparable strength than before surgery, a statistically significant ( Conclusions: Arthroscopic treatment followed by 6-month rehabilitation granted to most FAI patients a higher strength level for several hip muscles, except for abductors and external rotators, which remained comparable and weakened, respectively. Level of Evidence: Level IV, therapeutic case series.
