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 perform a systematic review of postoperative rehabilitation protocols after hip arthroscopy with labral reconstruction. Methods: A systematic review was conducted by searching PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase databases for studies reporting postoperative rehabilitation protocols after hip arthroscopy with labral reconstruction. Inclusion criteria were clinical studies detailing rehabilitation protocols after hip arthroscopy with primary labral reconstruction. Studies were excluded if they involved revision procedures, lacked rehabilitation protocols, or were nonclinical reports. The search terms used were: Results: Twenty studies, including 641 patients, met inclusion criteria. The mean patient age ranged from 32.0 to 43.7 years, with mean follow-up durations ranging from 0.6 years to 6.4 years. Four studies allowed WB as tolerated, one required non-WB, whereas 15 studies implemented protected WB (i.e., partial WB or touch-down WB) postoperatively, with all studies allowing full WB within 8 weeks. CPM was initiated within 12 to 24 hours postoperatively in 6 studies. Hip immobilization devices were used in 6 studies. Five studies reported range of motion restrictions, limiting hip flexion anywhere from 30° to 90°. Fourteen studies reported 11 unique patient-reported outcome measures and 55% of all studies reported reoperation rates. Among 5 studies that reported return-to-sport timelines, 4 (80%) permitted return by 6 months. Although most protocols discussed physical therapy and strength progression, considerable variability existed regarding exercise timing and initiation. Conclusions: This systematic review highlights the heterogeneity in postoperative rehabilitation protocols after hip arthroscopy with labral reconstruction, reflecting a lack of standardized, evidence-based guidelines. Level of Evidence: Level V, systematic review of Level II-V studies.
