Bony Hip Congruency and Coverage Varies by Acetabular Region and Activity in Asymptomatic Young Adults.
Article in Annals of biomedical engineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeUnderstanding how hip coverage and congruency change during dynamic loading may provide insight into the etiology of long-term degenerative pathology and susceptibility to hip instability. The goal of this study was to determine how hip congruency and femoral head coverage change during activities of daily living and their relationship with bone morphology in an asymptomatic cohort.
methodsTwenty-four healthy young adults (13 women, 21.9 ± 2.2 years) stood, walked, squatted, and ascended a step while synchronized biplane radiographs of the hip were collected. In-vivo bone motion was determined with sub-millimeter accuracy using a validated tracking technique that matched subject-specific bone models to the biplane radiographs. Dynamic congruency index (CI) and femoral head coverage were calculated across each activity. Mixed effects analyses determined effects of activity, region, and their interaction on CI or coverage, separately, and multiple linear regression determined the associations between alpha angle, lateral center edge angle (LCEA), and CI or coverage in each region and activity.
resultsDuring lower-flexion activities, Anterior-Inferior, Anterior-Superior, and Posterior-Inferior congruency decreased up to 30% (all p < 0.02), Superior and Posterior-Superior congruency increased up to 40% (all p < 0.01), and Anterior and Inferior coverage decreased (up to 40.1% and 9.4%, all p < 0.01) compared to higher-flexion activities. LCEA was a better morphologic predictor of coverage and congruency than alpha angle.
conclusionThese observed regional variations in hip coverage and congruency in asymptomatic individuals provide a potential mechanistic explanation for common patterns of cartilage degeneration in the anterior acetabular region and a reference for evaluating pathologic hips.
