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

» Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is the premature contact of the femoral head-neck junction with the superior acetabular rim during hip range of motion, which may further damage intra-articular soft tissue structures and lead to the accelerated development of osteoarthritis.» FAI syndrome is diagnosed by a triad of symptoms, clinical signs, and imaging findings, and is a common cause of hip pain in young patients that have a significant impact on patient hip-related function and quality of life.» The treatment of FAI syndrome begins with noninvasive nonoperative modalities such as patient education and supervised exercise-based physical therapy. For recalcitrant symptoms, various injections have been explored for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes; however, the efficacy of these interventions have generally not been demonstrated outside of the short term» In this article, we examine the available literature regarding the nonoperative treatment of FAI and provide insight into the effectiveness of current treatment modalities.
