Accelerated rehabilitation and return to sport after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome is safe and effective.
Article in Journal of hip preservation surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Present recommendations in the literature advocate for a return to sport (RTS) between 5- and 10 months following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). We have adopted the International Society of Hip Preservation protocol with modifications for the rehabilitation of our patients. The aim of the present study was to examine the time to RTS with this rehabilitation approach after hip arthroscopy for FAI. It was hypothesized that most athletes will RTS by 5 months post-surgery without any adverse effects. Patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAI were prospectively followed with preoperative and postoperative Patient Reported Outcome Measures including: Modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) and Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS). Preinjury sports and competition level, postoperative RTS rate, time, and level, complications, and revision surgeries were recorded. A total of 56 patients were identified for inclusion (36.6 ± 14.1 years old at date of surgery, 34 females and 22 males). There were 35 recreational athletes and 21 competitive-level athletes (10 in high-demand sports and 11 in moderate-demand sports). In all, 44 patients (79%) returned to sport at 5.3 ± 3.5 months postoperatively. Of the 12 patients who did not RTS, 5 (42%) did not return for reasons other than their hip. Neither HAGOS (
