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

Purpose: To compare distraction profiles of borderline dysplastic hips with hips of normal acetabular morphology. Methods: This study was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Intraoperative distraction profile, radiographic, and patient demographic data were compiled in a database. All patients with borderline dysplastic hips, as determined by a lateral center-edge angle of 18° to 25°, comprised the borderline dysplastic cohort. A cohort of hips with normal femoral head coverage comprised the normal coverage group. Demographic variables between groups were compared to ensure similarity. Between-group comparisons of axial distraction distance at 25, 50, 75, and 100 pounds-force (lbf) were conducted using the Student Results: We identified 136 hips with normal coverage and 36 hips with borderline dysplasia for comparison. Demographic variables were similar between groups. The dysplastic group showed greater axial distractibility at 75 lbf of traction force (6.47 ± 2.95 mm vs 5.07 ± 3.11 mm, Conclusions: In a population undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, patients with borderline hip dysplasia showed greater intraoperative axial distraction distances than patients with nondysplastic hips. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.
