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
backgroundThe coincidence rate of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) or acetabular retroversion (AR) with anterior ankle impingement (AAI) is not known. In this preliminary study, we investigated the coexistence of FAI and AR in a cohort of patients presented with AAI.
methodsIn a cross-sectional study, 56 patients who presented with AAI and underwent arthroscopic surgery for AAI treatment were included. The concurrent FAI was assessed clinically and radiographically. The concurrent acetabular retroversion was investigated by the evaluation of the crossover sign and ischial spine sign.
resultsConcurrent FAI was observed in 43% (24 of 56 patients), which was bilateral in 67% (16 of 24 patients) and unilateral in 33% (8 of 24 patients). Out of 24 patients with concurrent hip impingement, only six (25%) patients had symptomatic hips. In total, concurrent FAI was observed in 40 hips, which was cam-type in 55% (22 of 40 hips), pincer-type in 30% (12 of 40 hips), and mixed-type in 15% (6 of 40 hips). Concurrent AR was detected in 52% (29 of 56 patients), which was unilateral in 28% (8 of 29 patients) and bilateral in 72% (21 of 29 patients). In 25% of patients (14 of 56 patients), AR coexisted with FAI.
conclusionA considerable number of patients presenting with AAI were found to have concurrent FAI and/or AR. While the clinical significance of this association remains uncertain, these findings may warrant further investigation into whether evaluating for hip deformities in AAI patients could be of diagnostic or preventive value. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
