Endoscopic Treatment of External Coxa Saltans (Snapping Hip) in the Supine Position.

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
External coxa saltans, or "snapping hip," is present in about 5% of the population and typically stems from a tight iliotibial band (ITB) passing over the greater trochanter. For patients who have been unresponsive to nonoperative treatments, endoscopic ITB release can be effective in relieving symptoms. Various techniques have been described, including those involving lateral decubitus positioning, alternative portal placement, and outside-in release of the ITB. In this technique, we describe an endoscopic partial ITB release for external coxa saltans using supine positioning, standard hip arthroscopy portals, and inside-out release from the peritrochanteric space, which allows treatment of concomitant intra-articular pathology and direct visualization of the posterior undersurface of the ITB for a more precise release of the involved pathologic tissue.
