Functional Outcomes, Complications, and Failure Rates in Workers' Compensation Patients Following Hip Arthroscopic Repair: A Systematic Review.
Review in HSS journal : the musculoskeletal journal of Hospital for Special Surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Studies on the feasibility of hip arthroscopy in workers' compensation (WC) patients have been largely inconsistent or limited by study design, necessitating the need for a systematic review. Purpose: We sought to systematically compare clinically significant differences between WC patients and their counterparts in relation to (1) functional outcomes, (2) complications, and (3) failure rates after hip arthroscopy. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PubMed databases for studies published between January 1996 and February 2021. In combination with "AND" or "OR" Boolean operators, the following keywords were implemented: "hip arthroscopy," "workers' compensation," "outcomes," "complications," "revision," and "failure rates." Two reviewers screened eligible studies, evaluated methodological quality, and abstracted data. Results: In the 13 studies pooled, comprising 1874 patients, 276 (14.7%) patients received WC benefits. Twelve studies utilized functional outcomes, 2 studies assessed pain, and 3 studies evaluated satisfaction. Despite scoring lower in these measures preoperatively, WC patients demonstrated significant improvements after hip arthroscopy. Three studies linked compensation with marginally inferior functional scores, but this association was not significant at longer follow-up. Seven studies examined complication incidence, and 6 studies addressed failure rates, with all reporting no significant differences in rates of complications, secondary arthroscopies, or conversion to total hip arthroplasty. Conclusions: The findings of this systematic review suggest that hip arthroscopy offers clinically significant benefits, regardless of WC status. Postoperative results in WC patients, including functional scores, pain, satisfaction, complications, and failure rates, were favorable, and the degree of improvement was at least comparable with their counterparts. Further studies should consider prospective study designs with larger cohorts and extended follow-up.
