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
Background: Traditionally, hip arthroscopy has been performed with a perineal post, although risks associated with the use of a post include pudendal nerve injury, sexual dysfunction, and other soft tissue complications. Recently, some hip preservation specialists have switched to postless hip arthroscopy techniques to minimize these complications. Purpose: To reevaluate the current international trends in postless hip arthroscopy among hip preservation specialists and to compare these results to the same survey conducted in 2022. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: An anonymous 11-item survey was sent by email to members of ISHA-The Hip Preservation Society in November 2024. A reminder email was sent approximately 2 and 4 weeks later to facilitate a greater number of responses. The survey investigated ISHA members' current use of perineal post-assisted or postless hip arthroscopy and any changes in their setup technique during their time in practice. Descriptive statistics were used to report the results of each question in the survey. Comparisons between 2022 and 2024 responses to various questions were made using a chi-square test. Results: A total of 132 surveys were completed from 845 (15.6%) ISHA members; 47% of surgeons currently use a perineal post, 44% use a postless technique, and 9% use either technique depending on the facility at which they are operating. Overall, 74% of perineal post users self-reported rates of postoperative groin-related complications of <1% compared with 97% of postless users ( Conclusion: There has been an increase in the proportion of hip preservation specialists using a postless hip arthroscopy technique in the last 3 years. A majority of surgeons continue to report that they have made the switch from post-assisted to postless hip arthroscopy due to groin-related complications and have noticed a decrease in their complication rate after transitioning to the postless technique.
