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

backgroundPhysical therapist-led treatment programs are recommended for patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome. Views of people with FAI syndrome regarding such interventions are currently unknown, including perceptions of potential barriers and facilitators to participation and adherence to exercise programs.

objectivesTo explore participant perceptions of physical therapist-led programs for FAI syndrome, including barriers and facilitators for accessing physical therapy, and adhering to a rehabilitation program.

methodsOur qualitative study used semi-structured interviews to explore the perceptions of patients with FAI syndrome undertaking physical therapy-led treatment, where treatment was ceased due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The interview topic guide was informed by the Theoretical Domain Framework. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and data categories were developed using inductive thematic analysis. Themes were discussed between researchers until consensus was reached.

resultsFourteen participants (mean age: 30 years) with a range of physical activity backgrounds undertook interviews. We identified four key themes, 1) Patients believed their hip pain was caused by structural damage worsened through exercise; 2) Barriers and facilitators on the feasibility of physical therapist-led programs; 3) Participants held beliefs regarding the importance of adjunct treatments to exercise; and 4) Impact of FAI syndrome on physical activity participation.

conclusionPeople with FAI syndrome believe they have structural damage which leads to their hip pain and are often afraid to exercise due to fear of causing more damage to their hip. Our findings suggest that people with FAI syndrome want clear education about exercise, imaging, and expectations of cost and duration of treatment.
