Minimally Invasive Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Using Iliofemoral Ligament-Preserving Skip Capsulotomy for Cam Resection.

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
Interportal capsulotomy is the standard approach for treating femoroacetabular impingement during hip arthroscopy. However, this method carries a substantial risk of injuring the iliofemoral ligament, which may result in joint instability and persistent pain. We describe a modified "skip capsulotomy" technique, which preserves iliofemoral ligament integrity while enabling adequate access for cam resection. This technique employs a small longitudinal capsulotomy (∼5 mm) aligned with the mid-anterior portal and a short transverse incision (∼1.5-2 cm) extending posteriorly from the anterolateral portal, without connecting the 2 portals. The iliofemoral ligament is preserved by avoiding an interportal incision. This minimally invasive approach allows sufficient visualization and instrument maneuverability while preserving capsular stability, which is particularly advantageous in patients with hip instability.
