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

purposeTo compare the outcomes of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) preoperatively and at minimum 10-year follow-up using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

methodsA total of 128 patients with FAIS were prospectively included. The patients underwent arthroscopic surgery for FAIS between 2011 and 2013 and had a minimum of 10-year follow-up. The International Hip Outcome Tool short version (iHOT-12) was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were the Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS), the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D), the European Quality visual analogue scale (EQ VAS), the Hip Sports Activity Scale (HSAS) for physical activity level, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for overall hip function and a single question regarding overall satisfaction with the surgery. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare pre- and postoperative PROMs.

resultsThere was a significant improvement (p < 0.001) of iHOT-12, HAGOS subscales, EQ-5D, EQ VAS and VAS for overall hip function. A total of 83% of the patients were satisfied with their surgery. The survivorship of hip arthroscopy, defined as nonconversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA), at the end of the follow-up period was 77%.

conclusionPatients undergoing arthroscopic treatment for FAIS reported statistically significant and clinically relevant improved outcomes at 10-year follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.
